The Babylonian Theorem: The Mathematical Journey to Pythagoras and Euclid
Peter S. Rudman
Explores the history of mathematics among the Babylonians and Egyptians, showing how their scribes in the era from 2000 to 1600 BCE used visualisations of how plane geometric figures could be partitioned into squares, rectangles, and right triangles to invent geometric algebra, even solving problems that we now do by quadratic algebra.
