In contrast to this Egyptian mathematics is known from only a small number of papyrus texts, and the few books and papers that have been written about Egyptian mathematical papyri have mostly reiterated the same old presentations and interpretations of the texts. In this book, it is shown that the methods developed by the author for the close study of mathematical cuneiform texts ca 606 $aMathematics, Ancient 606 $aMathematics, Babylonian 606 $aMathematics, Egyptian 615 0$aMathematics, Ancient. 615 0$aMathematics, Babylonian. 615 0$aMathematics, Egyptian. 676 $a510.932 700 $aFriberg$b Jo?ran$0756005 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783924703321 996 $aUnexpected links between Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics$93729079 997 $aUNINA
