Ancient math

Hey, everyone. I guess you’ve noticed Dead Bunny is a boit quiet lately. Things have been crazy around work, and that’s eaten into my time to blog and to work on the other projects I’m trying to prepare for the site. I’m trying to get everything back under control, but I’m losing the battle at the moment.

Hopefully, you will all forgive me while I share interesting math articles I’m reading. It’s not the same as a math lesson, but some of them are pretty interesting.

This first one focuses on a hobby of mine: cultural anthropology. Denise over at Let’s Play Math has been moving her newsletters online, and one of them had an interesting lesson on multiplying in Ancient Egypt. This is actually part of a rather inspiring story series. I highly recommend tracking down the rest of them.
