History of Egyptian Fractions: May 2006
http://historyofegyptianfractions.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
History of Egyptian Fractions. The History of Egyptian fractions will be reported from two points of view. First, beginning with the oldest texts, Middle Kingdom Egyptian mathematics will be parsed. Second, the newest text, the Liber Abaci, will be parsed showing that Egyptian fraction arithmetic was continuously used for over 3,200 years. Wednesday, May 10, 2006. The second document is the Rhind Mathematical Papyru. In 1650 BCE, and a hard-to-decode 2/n table. The decoded 2/n table. Two subjects that co...

Reisner Papyrus: The Reisner Papyrus
http://reisnerpapyri.blogspot.com/2005/12/reisner-papyrus.html
This document defines the oldest form of Middle Kingdom scribal division. 'Daily' digging amounts were divided by 10, producing raw 10 man crew digging rates written in quotients and exact remainders. Remainder arithmetic was the subject of the first 6 problems in the RMP. Early researchers only mentioned aspects of the quotients and remainders written in RMP Egyptian fractions and associated 1/15 hekat daily food rations per worker. Thursday, December 08, 2005. Divide 39 by 10 = 4,. Yet, all other divis...

Analysis by Milo Gardner: The Achmim Wooden Tablets (C.G. 25.367 and C.G. 25.368). Middle Kingdom texts exactly computed a hekat, a unit of grain, written. Horus-Eye system and also partly in the Hieratic. System. The myth of Anubis, monitor of. The scales of truth suggests that this modular arithmetic system may date to the Old. Kingdom, Saqqara. There was a gate* at Saqqara that metaphorically solved the Horus-Eye. Balance beam problem. Today this means that there was a literal. Scaling of Horus Eye.

Egyptian Math History: February 2005
http://egyptianmath.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Egyptian fraction arithmetic appeared in the Middle Kingdom. After 2,000 BCE the Akhmim Wooden Tablet, the Reisner Papyrus, EMLR and RMP used the same remainder arithmetic. Egyptian division was inverse to Egyptian multiplication. Egyptian fraction weights and measures units methods diffused to Greek, Hellene, Coptic, Arabs and medieval eras. Ahmes' RMP 36 red auxiliary numbers scaled 2/53 imply that 2/n tables were constructed by the same methodology. Monday, February 07, 2005. And Ahmes 2/n table.
