Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research, 1946
A COMPREHENSIVE work on Babylonian mathematics in English has long been wanted. Apart from a few isolated articles in periodicals, the only material available hitherto was in German. The texts (mainly from the Yale Babylonian Collection) now published are of sufficiently wide range to give a fair impression of the subject as a whole.

Approximately a dozen mathematical papyri have survived from ancient Egypt. Based on their script (but also their stage of the Egyptian language) they fall into two groups—hieratic and demotic texts. These papyri constitute our primary source material to learn about ancient Egyptian mathematics. Because of the procedural style that they were written in,

Mathematical and Metrological Texts
Journal of Cuneiform Studies, 1984About 150 mathematical texts from Nippur are known, but most of them are tables for multiplication and division or simple related texts concerned with metrological problems. All these texts belong to the Old Babylonian period in the wider sense, including the Isin-Larsa and the early Cassite period.

Chinese Mathematical Text Analysis
IEEE Transactions on Engineering Writing and Speech, 1968Various machine methods have been developed to assist editors in quality control of Chinese-English translations and to prepare improved glossaries for mathematical work. Included are techniques for encoding Chinese characters by a display scope and by a plotting table, and for using these devices as a ten-thousand character "typewriter" keyboard. Also,

Information Processing & Management, 1984
Abstract An object of serious study in the information sciences is printed language, called text. This paper presents numerous examples of mathematical models of text and in so doing exposes some interesting results and problems associated with the linguistic, mathematical, and computational aspects of current research involving text.

Greek theoretical mathematics emerges among sixth-century Ionians from a background of professional practitioners, concerned chiefly with arithmetical operations. Its characteristical features (impersonalization, standardization, diagrams) develop as part of an elitist play of distinction at fifth- and fourth-century Athens, mainly to ascertain the ...

Narrative Structure of Mathematical Texts
2007There are many styles for the narrative structure of a mathematical document. Each mathematician has its own conventions and traditions about labeling portions of texts (e.g., chapter, section, theorem or proof )and identifying statements according to their logical importance (e.g., theoremis more important than lemma).

Mathematical Texts (I): The Mathematical Training of Scribes
2016This chapter discusses mathematical texts that originated from the Middle Kingdom. While this may well be caused by the vagaries of preservation, it might be that it reflects the actual situation, that is, that mathematical texts of the kind that we have from the Middle Kingdom did not exist in earlier periods. With the reestablishment of central power
