1 What? You mean my ancestors helped invent math? Gary Rubinstein Stuyvesant HS, New York City Math for America
2 Topics studied in ancient Dmes: MulDplicaDon and Division FracDons and Decimals Linear EquaDons QuadraDc EquaDons CalculaDon of square and cube roots Area of circles Pre- Trigonometry Number theory

4 EgypDan MulDplicaDon 23 x 21 ü ü ü = =483
5 EgypDan Division 483 / 23 ü ü ü = =483
6 EgypDan Division 15 / 4 ü 1 4 ü 2 8 ü 1/2 2 ü 1/ /2+1/4 =3 + 1/2 + 1/ =15
7 EgypDan Unit FracDons Only of form 1/n except for 2/3 3/4=1/2+1/4 3/5=1/2+1/10 Why?
8 Divide 6 loaves among 10 men 6/10=3/5=1/2+1/10 3/5 per man or 1/2 + 1/10 per man.

11 False PosiDon x x = 16 Try convenient value x = 7. 1 But 7+ g7 = 8 not Off by a factor of 16 8 = 2 x = 7 2= 14
12 A more involved example 1 8 x /2 4 x 1/4 2 x 1/ /4+1/8 19 x x = 19 Try x = 7. Becomes 8 not 19. 1) Need to do ) Then need to multiply 7 by that answer. x 1 2+1/4+1/8 x 2 4+1/2+1/4 x / /2+1/2+1/4+1/4+1/ /2+1/8
13 Base in base 60 is 119 in base in base 60 is 120 in base 10. Where have you seen = 2 00?
14 Base 60 decimals.2 5 in base 10 is 2/10 + 5/100 ;07 30 in base 60 is 7/ /3600 Fewer repeadng decimals in base 60!
15 Fewer repeadng decimals! 1/2=;30 1/6=;10 1/12=;05 1/3=;20 1/8=; /15=;04 1/4=;15 1/9=; /18=; /5=;12 1/10=;06 1/20=;03

17 Babylonian MulDplicaDon ( ) 2 (26 19) = 4 = = 494
18 3 Babylonian IdenDDes (a + b) 2 (a b) 2 = 4ab (a + b) 2 4ab = (a b) 2 (a b) 2 + 4ab = (a + b) 2
19 Babylonian QuadraDcs In a rectangle, the length exceeds the width by 7. If the area of the rectangle is 60, what are the dimensions of the rectangle? x y = 7 xy = 60
20 Babylonian QuadraDcs 7 2 = = = x y = 7 xy = 60 (x y) 2 x y 2 x y xy = x + y = = = 5 x + y 2 2 = (x + y) 2 (x + y) (x y) + = x 2 2 (x + y) (x y) = y 2 2
21 Babylonian QuadraDcs The area of a square is reduced by 7 times the length and the result is 60. What is the length? x 2 7x = 60 x(x 7) = 60 y = x 7 xy = 60 x y = 7 x = 12 y = 5
22 Babylonian QuadraDcs 3z 2 7z = 20 9z 2 21z = 60 (3z) 2 7(3z) = 60 3z = x x 2 7x = 60 x(x 7) = 60 y = x 7 xy = 60 x y = 7 x = 12 3z = 12 z = 4

26 Broken Bamboo Problem Now given a bamboo 10 chi high, which is broken so that its Dp touches the ground 3 chi away from the base. Tell: what is the height of the break?
27 Broken Bamboo Problem x 2 = (10 x) x 2 = x + x 2 20x = 91 x =
28 Now given a tree 20 chi high, and 3 chi in circumference. A kudzu vine winds around it 7 Dmes from its root to its top. Tell: what is the length of the vine? Vine Problem
29 Vine Problem = x = x = x 2 29 = x
30 The Sea Island Problem Set up two poles of the same height, 5 bu, the distance between the two poles being 1000 bu. Move away 123 bu from the front pole and observe the peak of the island from ground level; it is seen that the Dp of the front pole coincides with the peak. Move backward 127 bu from the rear pole and observe the peak of the island from ground level; the Dp of the back pole also coincides with the peak. What is the height of the island?
31 h = bd + b = 5g1000 a 1 a = = 1255
32 Square Root Algorithm = = = 6 6?? = 621 > = 544 > = 469
33 Why it works 30x + 30x + x 2 = x + x 2 = 469 (60 + x)x = 469

38 The Chinese Remainder Theorem The Emperor of Qin secretly counts his soldiers in an enigmatic manner. When he counts his soldiers in groups of three, two soldiers are left. When he counts in groups of five, three soldiers are left, and when the soldiers are counted in groups of seven, two soldiers are left. What is the smallest number of soldiers possible? x 2(mod 3) x 3(mod 5) x 2(mod 7)
39 x 2(mod 3) x 3(mod 5) x 2(mod 7) The Chinese Remainder Theorem Find a multiple of 5*7 which is one more than a multiple of 3: 70 Find a multiple of 3*7 which is one more than a multiple of 5: 21 Find a multiple of 3*5 which is one more than a multiple of 7: 15 Multiply the three desired remainders by these three numbers and add: 233 Divide by 3*5*7=105 and take the remainder: ggg ggg ggg
