Q

What are the Dates only?

Math is a prerequisite for understanding and predicting the movement of the planets. Planetary movement was an essential component of Mesopotamian religion. As part of their mathematical development, the Mesopotamians developed the base-60 numbering system, which is still used in navigation and to tell time.

Well preserved tablets, mostly from 1800 to 1600 BCE, cover topics that include fractions, algebra, quadratic and cubic equations and the Pythagorean theorem. The Babylonian tablet YBC 7289 gives an approximation of Pi accurate to three significant sexagesimal digits (seven significant decimal digits).
