Breaking the RMP 2/n Table Code: July 2008
http://rmprectotable.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Breaking the RMP 2/n Table Code. Monday, July 21, 2008. BREAKING the RMP 2/n Table Code. Author : Milo Gardner. The attested scribal methodology selected the best least common multiple (LCM) m before red auxiliary numbers, divisors of denominators mp, were recorded in concise unit fraction series. During the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries the hard-to-read scribal shorthand was required to be parsed by looking for omitted initial and intermediate steps. Peet applied the Latin name " ab initio. But usually ...

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...

Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (MMP): Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (MMP)
http://moscowmathematicalpapyrus.blogspot.com/2009/12/moscow-mathematical-papyrus.html
Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (MMP). The MMP is an important document for three reasons. First, algebraic methods were consistent with the Kahun Papyrus, the RMP, and the Berlin Papyrus. Second, geometric methods were algebraic and were consistent with the RMP and the MMP. Thirdly, MMP arithmetic used RMP 2/n table rational number conversion methods within its 21 problems. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (MMP). And the Egyptian Mathematical Leather Roll ( EMLR. 1 (3/4)x 2 = 12.

RMP 36 and the 2/n table: April 2010
http://rmp36.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
RMP 36 and the 2/n table. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. RMP 36 and the 2/n table. The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. RMP) is an Ancient Egyptian hieratic text that has been dated to 1650 BCE. The papyrus has been housed in the British Museum since 1863. The math text contains a series of equalities called the "2/n table" which represents about a third of the papyrus. The remainder of the papyrus contains 87 loosely grouped arithmetic problems. Missing scribal data by applying additive suggestions. Methods by c...

Liber Abaci: January 2007
http://liberabaci.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 04, 2007. Liber Abaci and seven Egyptian fraction methods. One 20th century theme limited LA discussions to base 10 decimals foundations related to algorithms. The base 10 decimal theme, a subject that flowered in the late 1500's, minimally considered 3,200 year older Egyptian fraction arithmetic that did not rely on algorithms. As a projection, the 500 page Sigler translation leads to meta math exposures of historical threads on which the medieval version of the fundamental theorem of ...
