Moimi rodzicami s± Cziba z Roto¶niówek i Igor Van Dog. Ponad trzy lata temu przyjecha³am do Warszawy by zamieszkaæ w niej wraz z nowymi w³a¶cicielami. Smutne by³o rozstanie z rodzeñstwm (mia³am ich a¿ 10-cioro), ale w nowym domu mia³am tyle rozrywek, ¿e szybko zapomnia³am o przykrym rozstaniu. Podczas nieobecno¶ci nowych opiekunów jad³am ró¿ne szampony i myd³a, tarkê do stóp mojej pañci, buty, drewno do kominka, czyta³am (gryz³am) ksi±¿ki i gazety, sika³am gdzie popadnie (równie¿ na jasn± wyk³adzinê) i ¶ci±ga³am co tylko mo¿liwe z blatów. Gdy pañcia lub pañcio wracali do domu zawsze znajdowali jak±¶ mi³± niespodziankê. Teraz mam mniej szkodliwe zajêcia takie jak spanie, jedzenie czy robienie manicure'u.

Next: The Moscow Papyrus Up: $FILE Previous: Counting and Aritmetic The Ahmes Papyrus The Ahmes was written in hieratic, and probably originated from the Middle Kingdom: 2000-1800 BC. It claims to be a ``thorough study of all things, insight into all that exists, knowledge of all obscure secrets." In fact, it is somewhat less. It is a collection of exercises, substantially rhetorical in form, designed primarily for students of mathematics. Included are exercises in fractions notation arithmetic algebra geometry mensuration The practical mathematical tools for construction? To illustrate the level and scope of Egyptian mathematics of this period, we select several of the problems and their solutions as found in the two papryi. For example, beer and bread problems are common in the Ahmes. Problem 72. How many loaves of "strength" 45 are equivalent to 100 loaves of strength 10? Fact: strength := Invoking the rule of three , which was well known in the ancient world, we must solve the problem: Answer loaves.

This is a story about an Egyptian scribe named Ahmes. There are many times in history when we discover an artifact of an ancient culture, yet there is mystery surrounding it. This is such a case. The artifact in this case is the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus . Ahmes is the name of the scribe who wrote it.

Katims, Ahmes Lead Women's Tennis At USTA Tournament Oct. 11-13, 2003 NEW YORK - Freshman Erin Katims (Boca Raton, FL) and sophomore Laura Ahmes (Sarasota, FL) each posted two wins in singles competition to highlight the Terrier women's tennis team's performance at the USTA National Tennis Center College Invitational over the weekend. The tournament was held at the tennis center where the U.S. Open is held. In fact, next to the Open, it was the largest tournament held at the tennis center, as 16 schools were involved. Among the 16 were Harvard and the Universities of Kansas, Kentucky, Washington, and Michigan, all of which played in the 2002 NCAA Division 1 Tournament. The other teams that participated were Boston College, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Princeton, Penn, Army, Rutgers, and Penn State. After losing her first match in B Flight singles to Kentucky's Danielle Petrisko, 6-0, 6-3, Katims came back to win her next two matches-6-4, 6-2 over Kentucky's Kristen Steinbeck and 4-6-, 6-4 (16-14) over Princeton's Jessica Seibet.
