摘要
本文论及古代巴比伦的数学.着重讲述了巴比伦的记数法——一种采用位置记数法和六十进位制的体系.本文列举了巴比伦人藉以计算的数学用表,分析了巴比伦人在代数学和几何学方面的成就,描述了比伦人的计量单位.最后,作者指出了巴比伦数学对科学发展的影响.
This paper deals with the ancient Babylonian knowledge of mathematics,in particular those of the Babyloniannumber scale,a system of positional notation and sixtieth system.It gives the Bablynoian tables of mathematicaldata,through which Babylonian could compute.The Babylonian achievements in algebra and geometry also anal-ysed as well as the Babylonian measurable units described.Lastly,the author points out Babylonian mathematics'sinfluence on the development of science.
