Document Summary
Probably the physical records from other places were too perishable to survive so long. (c) circa 1800 bc for egypt, even a bit earlier for some tablets. (d) babylonia. Their number system was a place system with base sixty: (a) fibonacci. (b) using the greedy algorithm (i. e. at each stage subtract the biggest reciprocal frac- tion possible): Other possibilities include 1 fraction the egyptians used which is not the reciprocal of an integer. ) 3 is the one noninteger: (a) library of alexandria in egypt, begun about 300 b. c. , associated were euclid, Ptolemy, hypatia, etc. (b) house of wisdom in baghdad, begun about 820 a. d. , associated was e. g. al- 16th century. (b) around 1800. (wessel 1797, argand 1806. ) (c) euler. 1: p , if z is a nontrivial zero of the riemann zeta function, then the real part of z is. For x = 10100, this is 1/(100 ln 10) = 1/(100(2. 3)).
