320   $aIncludes bibliographical references.
327   $aBabylonian mathematics -- Early Greek mathematics and Euclid's construction of the regular pentagon -- Three samples of Archimedean mathematics -- Ptolemy's construction of a trigonometric table.
330   $aAmong other things, Aaboe shows us how the Babylonians did calculations, how Euclid proved that there are infinitely many primes, how Ptolemy constructed a trigonometric table in his Almagest, and how Archimedes trisected the angle. Some of the topics may be familiar to the reader, while others will seem surprising or be new.
