Extractions: Ahmes A'h-mose (more commonly referred to as Ahmes) was an Egyptian scribe who copied an earlier mathematics text on papyrus in 1650 B.C. Ahmes began his text with a table of fractions and an explanation of the Egyptian method of using fractions. The ancient Egyptians defined all fractions, with the single exception of the fraction 2/3, in terms of unit fractions. That is, they only used fractions with a numerator of one. For example, instead of writing 3/4, they wrote 1/2 + 1/4. Instead of writing 5/6, they wrote 1/2 + 1/3. Egyptian Fractions Problem Write each fraction in terms of unit fractions only.

Extractions: Sorry for the inconvenience. Because unit fractions were used to represent all fractions, while multiplication was based on repeated doubling, it was important for Ancient Egyptians to know how to double the unit fractions. The Rhind Papyrus includes a decomposition of 2/ n in terms of unit fractions, for all odd values of n from 5 to 101. Recall that 2/3 was a standard fraction in its own right. Divisor ( n Unit Fractions making 2/ n Divisor ( n Unit Fractions making 2/ n Divisor ( n Unit Fractions making 2/ n In today's mathematics, we know of various algebraic formulae for constructing these decompositions, for example n n n n pq p p q q p q and many of the Rhind Papyrus decompositions are of these forms. The derivation of others, however, are harder to understand. For example, the decomposition for 2/15 cannot be obtained using either of these formulae. The importance of 2/3 meant, however, that the Ancient Egyptians knew, and used, the fact that two-thirds of a unit fraction 1/ n can be written as n n n and setting n = 5 in this formula gives the decomposition in the table. Whether or not this is how the Rhind Papyrus decomposition was actually obtained, we cannot know.

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/GreekScience/Students/Tim/SquaringCircle.html

Extractions: The circle is one of the enigma's of mathematics. It is defined as the set of points in a given plane at a given distance from a center point. From a practical position, a compass is an excellent tool for describing such a circle. It is one of the simplest concepts, a cornerstone in the edifice of mathematics. Yet, it eludes mathematical exactness. It is a constant reminder that nothing is exact, even in mathematics. It is not difficult to see why so many wise men pondered the problem in hopes of imposing order upon a reluctant nature. The earliest evidence of practical attempts to solve the problem of squaring the circle comes from the Egyptian Ahmes Papyrus(circa 1550 BC), where the area of a circle is approximated via the formula (64/81) times the diameter^2 [or 3.16 r^2]. The Egyptian's, though, are considered practical mathematicians and probably never confronted the problem formally, and legendary credit for first formal attempt is given to Anaxagorus of Clazomenae while he was in prison for a time. The problem gained importance as Greek mathematics evolved, and it eventually became such a prominent issue that it even earned ridicule from Aristophanes in his Birds , as the astronomer Meton tries to aid in the division of land(beginning in line 997) The problem of squaring the circle defeated conventional techniques of compass and straight edge, but it remained until recent times to be proven impossible. The Greeks, realizing the difficulty, were forced to turn to more complicated structures like the

Why does the theory work? Is it because it is similar to the way we would solve by making a common denominator, adding the fractions, and cross multiplying, thus solving for x? In a roundabout way the false position method seems to do the same. Any math reason why it works?

O de Ahmes é um longo papiro egípcio, de cerca de 1.650 a.C., onde um escriba de nome Ahmes, ensina as soluções de 85 problemas de aritmética e geometria. Este papiro foi encontrado pelo egiptólogo inglês Rhind no final do século 19 e hoje está exposto no Museu Britânico, em Londres. O de Moscou é um pouco mais velho e contém a fórmula correta para o cálculo do volume de um tronco de pirâmide. Muito provalvelmente existiram papiros análogos anteriores, mas estes foram os mais velhos que se salvaram. Além disto, o de Ahmes notabilizou-se por ter sido seu autor o mais antigo matemático cujo nome a história registrou. Em ambos os papiros aparecem problemas que contêm, timida e disfarçadamente, equações de 1º grau. Um dos problemas de Ahmes dizia : "Uma quantidade , somadaa seus 2/3, mais a metade e mais a sua sétima parte perfaz 33. Qual essa quantidade? "

Kidinu: I beg your pardon, but I thought I was controling this computer. Ahmes: Please excuse my intrusion, but I think I can explain the physics, if you would like. Nabu-rimanni: I'd like to hear that. Ahmes: Let us start with one ball. It's simpler that way. Notice how it keeps going at the same rate in the same direction until it hits a wall. Nabu-rimanni: Well, yes, but the other balls kept falling down. Why isn't this one? Ahmes: I thought it would be easier if we started without gravity. We can add it later. We can specify where the ball is by using coordinates . The coordinates of the center of the ball are a pair of numbers ( x y ). The number x indicates how far right (if x is positive) or how far left (if x is negative) it is from the vertical center line, while the number y indicates how far above (if y is positive) or how far below (if y is negative) from the horizontal center line.

Kidinu: Maybe not the opposite direction. That would mean it goes back the way it came. I really meant something like this. [Kidinu draws a picture.] Ahmes: So what you're saying is that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Is that so? Kidinu: Yes, that's it. Nabu-rimanni: That's fine if the wall is straight, but these walls are curved. Ahmes: It's almost the same thing, that is, it's as if the place where the ball hits the wall is straight.

Extractions: Much is known about the Ancient Egyptian knowledge of Mathematics because of a document recorded in the second century B.C. by the scribe, Ahmes. The papyrus roll was found in a Thebes ruin and was purchased in 1858 by Henry Rhind. The Ahmes or Rhind Papyrus was later sold to the British Museum. The references in this papyrus to earlier mathematical concepts, indicate that some of this knowledge may have been handed down from Imhotep, the supervisor of the building of the pyramids around 3,000 B.C. The Ahmes Papyrus , which contains 84 mathematical problems and their solutions, provides a clue to the Ancient Egyptian value for . The Egyptians used a method of assuming a solution and then correcting it known as regula falsi. Using this approach, a comparison was made between the area of a circle and a square. View the Ancient Egyptian comparison that yields a value for Based on this method, the ancient Egyptians determined a value for that was 3.1605.

http://www.cmi.k12.il.us/Urbana/projects/cybermummy/hieroglyphics.html

Extractions: The Roman Egyptian mummies did not have hieroglyphs (picture writing) on the cartonnage or wrappings, as did mummies in the earlier Egyptian periods. However, much of what we know about the Ancient Egyptians comes from the hieroglyphs on the walls of their tombs and in their art. The tomb writing tells about the individual who died, their accomplishments, where and how they lived.The writing is an attempt to justify their lives and win a place in the after life. It is interesting to note that the writing has lasted thousands of years and their stories have granted them immortality, if not everlasting life. Hieroglyphs are found on the Ancient Egyptian art, sculpture and architecture. This picture writing was a mystery for hundreds of years until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, which helped unlock the language mystery. More is known about life in Ancient Egypt than other ancient civilizations. This knowledge comes from the discovery of the Rosetta Stone , a basalt rock inscribed with a message written in three languages: Egyptian Hieroglyphic, Egyptian Demotic and Greek. Napoleonic soldiers found the Rosetta Stone in 1799 and because Egyptologists were familiar with Greek were able to decipher the message and decode the Egyptian Hieroglyphs.
