Book Synopsis Mathematics in the Time of the Pharaohs by : Richard J. Gillings
Book excerpt: In this carefully researched study, the author examines Egyptian mathematics, demonstrating that although operations were limited in number, they were remarkably adaptable to a great many applications: solution of problems in direct and inverse proportion, linear equations of the first degree, and arithmetical and geometrical progressions.
