Name ProfessorCourse Date The Rhind mathematical papyrus The Rhind mathematical papyrus is named after A.H.Rhind who bought it at Luxor in 1858. It is 18 feet long and 13 inches in width. The system of counting in ancient Egypt was decimal and it could manage quantities of an incredible scale however non positional. The number framework was decimal with unique symbols for 1 10 100 1000 10000 100000 1000000 (Harnnet Dana and Lauren 6). Grouping and regrouping were utilized in addition while multiplication and division were based basically on binary multiples. Fractions were composed as a sum of all other single unit. The utilization of geometry was utilized in areas volumes and similarity however it was restricted to such. The scribes could comprehend basic arithmetical = 2+ 1/17+4/17 Egypt: Answer: =5. (2+5/8) = 5(2 +1/17+4/17) = 10+ 1/17+8/17 This problem appears to demonstrate a kind of progressive chain for dispersion of items was generally normal. References Exploring the Rhind Papyrus.
