    • Mathematics in Ancient Egypt : A Contextual History, Hardcover by Imhausen, Annette, ISBN 0691117136, ISBN-13 9780691117133, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK

      Imhausen presents an introduction to Egyptian mathematics from the prehistoric and early dynastic period through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms to the Greco-Roman periods. Mathematics was integrated so fully into Egyptian life, she says, that numbers appeared in many kinds of documents besides mathematical and administrative, and she provides examples. Among her topics are the invention of writing and number notation, metrological systems, the mathematical training of scribes, New Kingdom mathematical texts Ostraca Senmut 153 and Turin 57170, mathematics in literature, and Demotic Greek arithmetic.
