Abstract:
Much of What We Know Today About the mathematics of ancient Egypt is contained in a papyrus scroll that was copied from an earlier scroll by the scribe Ahmes in about 1650 BME (before the modern era) (Boyer 1968). A fascinating feature of ancient Egyptian mathematics is its treatment of common fractions. In most cases, the Egyptians used only unit fractions, that is, fractions with numerators of 1. The one common exception is 2/3, and they would occasionally use fractions of the form n/(n + 1). However, both forms are complements of unit fractions.

Abstract:
You may have learned how the ancient Egyptians wrote numbers. For example, for the number 600, you would write a symbol for a scroll six times. Actually, ancient Egypt had two main systems of writing: hieroglyphic and hieratic. Hieroglyphics, dating back over 5,000 years, were used mainly for inscriptions on stone walls and monuments. Hieratic writing was a cursive script suitable for writing on papyrus, the Egyptian form of paper. Much of our knowledge of ancient Egyptian mathematics comes from a papyrus written by the scribe Ahmose around 1650 B.C.E. Although he wrote in hieratic script, rec

Abstract:
It was not by accident or by try–and–error methods that ancient Egyptians had built tho­se magnificent mo­numents which started with the pyramids five thousand years ago. It is by profound scientific knowledge, a fact which has good evidence in the various mathe­matical papyri that were discovered, which reflect the deep knowledge in Mathematics, Geometry and calculations. When one investigates the way the ancient Egyptians mani­pu­lated their Mathematics, one gets surprised by the virtual simila­rity between the Mathe­matics that were used at the time o

Abstract:
Egyptian fractions are what we know as unit fractions that are of the form 1/n - with the exception, by the Egyptians, of 2/3. Egyptian fractions have actually played an important part in mathematics history with its primary roots in number theory. This paper will trace the history of Egyptian fractions by starting at the time of the Egyptians, working our way to Fibonacci, a geologist named Farey, continued fractions, Diophantine equations, and unsolved problems in number theory.

Abstract:
The topics examined in this thesis were the subject of my research as a PhD student at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of Vilnius University. The presented investigation concerns the existence of composite numbers in some special sequences, such as the sequence of integer parts of powers of a fixed number and a linear recurrence sequence consisting of integer numbers. The thesis consists of the introduction, 3 sections, conclusions and bibliography. In Section 1 we consider composite numbers in the sequences of integer parts of powers of rational numbers and prove that the sequenc

One exercise (K2) from the Kahun Mathematical Papyrus (British Museum) is also discussed. The exercise R50 shows how Egyptian scribes calculated the area of a cir-cle with a given diameter. The exercise R48 compares the area of a circle with a given diameter to that of its cir-cumscribing square. Four other exercises demonstrate how to

Science and art are generally seen as two different fields, although they have common points, they support and complement each other. Mathematics is accepted as a science, one in which notions and the connections between notions are defined and demonstrated with great precision. The notion of Number is usually associated with that of quantity, illustrating our overwhelming orientation towards measuring and inventorying the concrete. However, throughout history, the ideas related to the Number have also meant something else, the Number being a concept that, regardless of the cultural area and t
