About The Book
In this authoritative work, Otto Neugebauer, a leading scholar in the field of premodern science, explores the fascinating history of Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics and astronomy. Through non-technical but comprehensive coverage, Neugebauer presents the intricate mathematical achievements of the Babylonians, which were far more sophisticated than traditionally believed, and discusses their influence on the Hellenistic world. This second edition includes 52 figures, providing further clarity on these ancient mathematical principles. It’s a must-read for those interested in the evolution of science and mathematics.
