Mesopotamian Mathematics The purpose of this page is to provide a source of information on all aspects of Mesopotamian mathematics. We explain the origins of mathematics in Mesopotamia from the earliest tokens, through the development of Sumerian mathematics to the grand flowering in the Old Babylonian period, and on into the later periods of Mesopotamian history. We include some general surveys to get you oriented in each period, and some more detailed resources for those interested in specific aspects of this fascinating episode in history. Like most other Web pages it is under slow construction as time permits. Some of these resources are of general interest, others are intended mainly for use by students in my History of Mathematics class. Background History A very brief and biased summary of Mesopotamian (political) history. Intended to provide a context for the mathematical history in later pages. Chronology A summary chronology of the main periods of Mesopotamian history and the mathematics associated with them. Overview A short summary of the main phases of growth in Mesopotamian mathematics. The topics mentioned here will all be expanded upon in later pages.

We are shocked and very sad indeed to hear of the catastrophe that has struck the Southern United States. We extend our sincere condolences to the American people. These are terrible times indeed, that we have to witness catastrophe after catastrophe and disaster after disaster.

I mean the absolute unanimity of choice of every enemy and hater of the U.S.; the Terrorists, the Salafis, the International rivals, the Envious etc. etc. Then consider your real friends and allies, those who have stood with you and shed blood with you, and are willing to die for the common cause, whom do they want? Do you have any doubt about their preference? My apology to the half of America who may disagree; and I address them with respect and fondness, but with pain in the heart. Do you really want to give satisfaction to the be-headers, kidnappers and child murderers; and the perpetrators of 9/11? Do you want to hear their savage shouts of victory? This is no reflection on the merit of your man. He may indeed be a paragon of virtue, but that does not change one little bit anything about the situation. The most important factor in this struggle at the present time after the Will of God is your choice, your steadfastness and your resolve. Give the enemy the slap in the face and the great disappointment he deserves. You are the leaders; and all the lovers of freedom and enlightenment everywhere will take heart and charge with you with redoubled zeal, as they see your courage and defiance at the helm.

INTRODUCTION TO ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA st May 2000 Emergence Excavation, Discovery and Decipherment Reconstructing History Table of Mesopotamian Chronology Emergence Lying within the western regions of modern-day Iraq, Mesopotamia - literally 'The Land between the Rivers' - is the name given since ancient times to the great alluvial plain built up by the silt deposits of the Euphrates in the west and the Tigris in the east. It extends from north of Baghdad down to the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and is bordered in the north and east by the vast mountain ranges stretching down from Kurdistan to the Zagros in Iran, in the west by the Syrian desert. The land is rich and fertile, ensuring high yields for farmers especially in ancient times. Indeed it has been identified with the biblical 'Garden of Eden', especially since the Euphrates is one of the rivers quoted in Genesis 2:14 as flowing out of it. However this is to over-simplify the matter. The annual flood levels are entirely dependent on the degree of inundation coming down from the surrounding mountain ranges, and this is highly variable - unlike, for example, the Nile plains in northern Egypt. The resulting alternation between drought and devastating flood made the area at worst highly vulnerable to famine, and at best an unpredictable place to live. Small wonder, say the traditionalists, that the early settlers revered their gods and prayed so much for favourable conditions. This unpredictability was coupled with the inhospitable terrain surrounding the plains, which harboured many well-protected potential enemies and ensured escape was difficult. Furthermore the land was lacking in fundamental resources for building work; stone, timber and metal were in short supply unless brought in from surrounding areas some distance away. It was not therefore the paradise for the earliest civilisations on earth to develop and flourish which some commentators would have us believe.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MESOPOTAMIAN MATHEMATICS This bibliography is by no means exhaustive I've tried to give the most reliable and/or up-to-date references wherever possible, and I may well have missed out a work or two through my own inefficiency. For a more complete bibliography up to the early 1980s, see Friberg's contribution to Dauben 1985 cited below. Thereafter, one can chase relevant works and authors through the regular bibliographies in Historia Mathematica (annotated) and the Assyriological journal Orientalia (unannotated but well cross-referenced). I've assumed knowledge of English, French and German only which means omitting works in Russian and Italian in particular. histories of maths which include a section on ancient Mesopotamia overviews of Mesopotamian maths, and the main text editions pre-OB maths and numeration OB (Old Babylonian = early second millennium) maths ... general history and culture of ancient Mesopotamia. If you would like further information or advice on anything in particular , do e-mail me. I'll try my very best to help but I'm afraid I can't always respond immediately, particularly in term-time.
