Plimpton 322: A Study of Rectangles
Foundations of Science 26 (4):977-1005 (2021)
Abstract
Plimpton 322 is one of the most sophisticated and interesting mathematical objects from antiquity. It is often regarded as teacher’s list of school problems, however new analysis suggests that it relates to a particular geometric problem in contemporary surveying.My notes
