Ancient Greece was a diaspora all around the Mediterranean. Ancient Egyptians have little relationship to modern Egypt.
That said ancient Egyptians certainly had to solve lots of math problems and they likely came up with lots of similar solutions.
- pyuser583 5y agoThere’s a big difference between coming up with “good enough” engineering solutions, and integrating a philosophical tradition with rigorous mathematics. One the Greens were not good at was applied mathematics. They saw math as sacred, and avoided using it for “mundane” things. For example, the ancient world had something similar to double ledge accounting, but none of the mathematicians tried to flesh it out.
