It's long been accepted that the ancient Greeks were responsible for developing the mathematical concept of trigonometry, but a new discovery indicates they weren't the first to figure it out after ...
About 3 700 years ago a Babylonian mathematician wrote a trigonometry table on a clay tablet that scientists say is more accurate than anything we have today. The table predates Pythagoras’s theorem ...
In one of your math classes, you might have been taught that geometry and trigonometry were products of the ancient Greeks. That's not entirely accurate, as a new discovery proves that both were ...
The purpose of a 3,700-year-old Babylonian clay tablet has finally been revealed. As it turns out, it was an ancient trigonometric table that the Babylonians used, beating the Greeks by more than a ...
The mathematical study of triangles has just got a whole lot simpler, according to a researcher who says his new theory of trigonometry is easier to use and more accurate. Associate Professor Norman ...
Scientists recently decoded a clay tablet from ancient Babylonia that dates to around 3,700 years ago, and found that it contains the oldest trigonometric table in the world. The tablet, discovered in ...
