Abstract

De ce panorama de l'histoire des mathématiques égyptiennes et babyloniennes et de leur transmission au monde hellénistique, émerge l'image d'une science antique étonnament sophistiquée-qui fait apparaître la connaisance du théorème de Phytagore plus de mille ans avant son énoncé-et capable, pour ce qui est des mathématiques babyloniennes, par exemple, de soutenir la comparaison, dans certains domaines du calcul numérique et de l'algèbre, avec le niveau atteint dans ces secteurs au début de la Renaissance en Europe. Répudiant les synthèses faciles, se confrontant avec rigueur aux sources, dans une double approche technique et méthodologique, l'ouvrage d'Otto Neugebauer interprète également, en usant d'un appareil mathématique avancé, le niveau remarquable de l'astronomie babylonienne tout en proposant, dans les appendices, une discussion sur certains aspects de l'astronomie grecque, des sources ptolémaïques et islamiques du système de Copernic.

Abstract

A sequel to Unexpected Links Between Egyptian and Babylonian Mathematics (World Scientific, 2005), this book is based on the author's intensive and ground breaking studies of the long history of Mesopotamian mathematics, from the late 4th to the late 1st millennium BC. It is argued in the book that several of the most famous Greek mathematicians appear to have been familiar with various aspects of Babylonian "metric algebra," a convenient name for an elaborate combination of geometry, metrology, and quadratic equations that is known from both Babylonian and pre-Babylonian mathematical clay tab
