Old Babylonian Mathematics and Plimpton 322: A new perspective (introduction)

Daniel Mansfield and Norman Wildberger from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, UNSW Sydney, introduce Old Babylonian culture from 1900- 1600 B.C.E. and the most famous mathematical artifact from that time: the clay cuneiform tablet called Plimpton 322. This is the first of a series of videos which will set out a dramatically new perspective on this ancient mathematics which reveals it to be fresh and full of life, and capable of teaching us many things, not only about arithmetic, geometry and computation, but also about what it means to do mathematics purely. Here is a link to the Cueiform Digital Library Initiative, where you can get a sense of the remarkable richness of the tablets that have been uncovered from this fascinating culture: http://cdli.ucla.edu/ ************************ Screenshot PDFs for my videos are available at the website http://wildegg.com. These give you a concise overview of the contents of the lectures for various Playlists: great for review, study and summary. My research papers can be found at my Research Gate page, at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/... My blog is at http://njwildberger.com/, where I will discuss lots of foundational issues, along with other things. Online courses will be developed at openlearning.com. The first one, already underway is Algebraic Calculus One at https://www.openlearning.com/courses/... Please join us for an exciting new approach to one of mathematics' most important subjects!
