The Rhind Papyrus of AhmoseAhmose
|
|
The work covers many topics including:
It is not known how much was original work by Ahmose and how much was older - he himself describes himself as a scribe. The work provides an excellent value of pi (256/81). Much of the mathematics was used in engineering and building.
The book worked through a number of problems that would show general principlas by repetition - there were no theorems or laws as in the later Greek mathematics.
