Mesopotamian Mathematics | MathHistory 33 | N J Wildberger

This lecture introduces the first civilization to create writing and which also had one of the most remarkable arithmetic systems of all time. This is the Mesopotamian culture from 3000 B.C.E. to the fall of the Babylonian cities around 1600 B.C.E., and it stars the Sumerians, Akkadians and Babylonians. Their base 60 or sexagesimal truly floating point system is one of the great achievements of ancient peoples. In this video we delve into some of the details of this rich arithmetic. ************************** 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!
