THE MESOPOTAMIAN TO BRING ONE MORE IRAQI VOICE OF THE SILENT MAJORITY TO THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD Wednesday, December 31, 2003 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FRIENDS OF THE IRAQI PEOPLE MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING FINAL VICTORY AND PEACE TO IRAQ. LOVE TO ALL PEACE LOVING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. ETERNAL SHAME AND DISGRACE TO ALL MURDERERS THUGS AND TERRORISTS. 2004 BY THE GRACE OF GOD WILL BE THE YEAR OF VICTORY HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE TO ALL THOSE FALLEN FOR THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM, IRAQIS, AMERICANS, AND ALL COALITION MEN AND WOMEN. WE GRIEVE FOR THE FALLEN AMERICAN AND COALITION MEN AND WOMEN AS MUCH AS FOR OUR IRAQIS, BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT INVADERS BUT LIBERATORS WHO HAVE DONE US THE GREATEST FAVOR IN OUR HISTORY. ALL BLOCKHEADS MUST GET THIS THROUGH THEIR THICK SCULLS. SPECIAL THANKS AND NEW YEAR GREETINGS TO PRESIDENT BUSH, MR. BLAIR AND ALL ALLIED LEADERS, THANK YOU. WE SHALL OVERCOME SALAAM ALAA posted by Alaa : 12:17 AM postCount('107285862826260117'); Tuesday, December 30, 2003 Hi Friends, Yesterday a roadside bomb killed innocent Iraqi bystanders including children. Today a bomb also exploded injuring and killing Iraqis including a family who happened to be passing in their poor old "Brazilian" car. The neighborhood is a busy shopping area. Today after the explosion an anti terrorism demonstration broke out spontaneously. I was just watching an Arab T.V. station reporting the incident. This is the way they presented it: "The bomb was meant for the American soldiers and unfortunately innocent Iraqis were the victims;

Mesopotamian Mathematics The purpose of this page is to provide a source of information on all aspects of Mesopotamian mathematics. We explain the origins of mathematics in Mesopotamia from the earliest tokens, through the development of Sumerian mathematics to the grand flowering in the Old Babylonian period, and on into the later periods of Mesopotamian history. We include some general surveys to get you oriented in each period, and some more detailed resources for those interested in specific aspects of this fascinating episode in history. Like most other Web pages it is under slow construction as time permits. Some of these resources are of general interest, others are intended mainly for use by students in my History of Mathematics class. Background History A very brief and biased summary of Mesopotamian (political) history. Intended to provide a context for the mathematical history in later pages. Chronology A summary chronology of the main periods of Mesopotamian history and the mathematics associated with them. Overview A short summary of the main phases of growth in Mesopotamian mathematics. The topics mentioned here will all be expanded upon in later pages.

A more orderly and coordinated reinstatement of water, however, is urgently required to ensure greater coherence and long-term sustainability of these remedial efforts.

As has been the case over the past decade, dams and drainage canals prevented the rivers from cresting and flowing into the marshlands in May 2002. When control structures were opened and levees broken by mechanical diggers in April and May 2003, however, water swept through the desiccated landscape inundating some areas. In these false colour images (bands 7,4,2), swollen rivers and canals and flooded areas appear black.

Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, was the fertile river plain where civilization was born and where writing first appeared. Southern Mesopotamia was under the control of a series of kings from 3000 B.C. to the 6th century B.C. In its early history, Mesopotamia was a collection of agricultural city-states. These later gave way to centrally controlled empires which spread through conquest. Gudea of Lagash Dragon of Marduk The northern Mesopotamian kingdom of Assyria, in existence by 1500 B.C., would become a great empire between the 9th and the 7th centuries B.C. The kings of this mountainous region were conquerors who led their armies on an endless succession of foreign campaigns and celebrated their success by building and decorating enormous stone palaces.

I remember from long ago, when there was widespread dissemination and consumption of Marxist and communist propaganda and literature in these parts, that one of the aberrations and accusations which the various factions of these movements used to employ in their polemics against each other was the sin of “empiricism”. For engineers and scientists this term does not sound bad, since the very foundation of modern science is experiment and the laboratory. However, in politics the term has different meaning, at least in the way that the old Marxists understood it. For them “Empiricism” meant trial and error without solid theory and strategic thinking behind it. Indeed even in science, experiment is always designed to confirm or disprove some preconceived theory, and may lead to modifications, reformulations, or total change in those theories. In other words, there should exist between theory and practice a so-called “dialectical” relationship, to use Marxist jargon (loathsome as that may sound to many of my friends). The “Dialectics” of

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MESOPOTAMIAN MATHEMATICS This bibliography is by no means exhaustive I've tried to give the most reliable and/or up-to-date references wherever possible, and I may well have missed out a work or two through my own inefficiency. For a more complete bibliography up to the early 1980s, see Friberg's contribution to Dauben 1985 cited below. Thereafter, one can chase relevant works and authors through the regular bibliographies in Historia Mathematica (annotated) and the Assyriological journal Orientalia (unannotated but well cross-referenced). I've assumed knowledge of English, French and German only which means omitting works in Russian and Italian in particular. histories of maths which include a section on ancient Mesopotamia overviews of Mesopotamian maths, and the main text editions pre-OB maths and numeration OB (Old Babylonian = early second millennium) maths ... general history and culture of ancient Mesopotamia. If you would like further information or advice on anything in particular , do e-mail me. I'll try my very best to help but I'm afraid I can't always respond immediately, particularly in term-time.

12. Mesintro A description including emergence, excavation, discovery and decipherment, reconstructing history, and a table of mesopotamian chronology. http://www.ianlawton.com/mes1.htm

INTRODUCTION TO ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA st May 2000 Emergence Excavation, Discovery and Decipherment Reconstructing History Table of Mesopotamian Chronology Emergence Lying within the western regions of modern-day Iraq, Mesopotamia - literally 'The Land between the Rivers' - is the name given since ancient times to the great alluvial plain built up by the silt deposits of the Euphrates in the west and the Tigris in the east. It extends from north of Baghdad down to the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and is bordered in the north and east by the vast mountain ranges stretching down from Kurdistan to the Zagros in Iran, in the west by the Syrian desert. The land is rich and fertile, ensuring high yields for farmers especially in ancient times. Indeed it has been identified with the biblical 'Garden of Eden', especially since the Euphrates is one of the rivers quoted in Genesis 2:14 as flowing out of it. However this is to over-simplify the matter. The annual flood levels are entirely dependent on the degree of inundation coming down from the surrounding mountain ranges, and this is highly variable - unlike, for example, the Nile plains in northern Egypt. The resulting alternation between drought and devastating flood made the area at worst highly vulnerable to famine, and at best an unpredictable place to live. Small wonder, say the traditionalists, that the early settlers revered their gods and prayed so much for favourable conditions. This unpredictability was coupled with the inhospitable terrain surrounding the plains, which harboured many well-protected potential enemies and ensured escape was difficult. Furthermore the land was lacking in fundamental resources for building work; stone, timber and metal were in short supply unless brought in from surrounding areas some distance away. It was not therefore the paradise for the earliest civilisations on earth to develop and flourish which some commentators would have us believe.

Along with the texts are "translations, glossaries, grammatical indexes, basic bibliographic apparatus, basic text critical apparatus, and some graphic apparatus" as the introduction explains. Although thorough, the texts are therefore rather lengthy, which may make them too cumbersome for the student trying to extract useful information. Ryan Ainscough Ancient Economies Location: http://members.tripod.com/%7Esondmor/index.html Matt Gorski Ancient Economies II Location: http://www.angelfire.com/ms/ancecon/index.html Ancient Economies II is created through the ideas of Morris Silver, an economist teaching in New York City. This page is a continuation of his first page, Ancient Economies which dealt with a general overview of the economies of the cultures from the Mesopotamians to the Mycenaean Greeks. This page is much more in depth than the first and takes a very philosophical and scholarly look at economies in myths of these ancient times. The page has numerous references to the Bible and other writing of the time and he analyzes the use of money or the structure of an economy in that piece. The site contains no pictures or links and is well organized text throughout. Silver also gives an extensive bibliography at the end of the page to back up his many listed sources. Ancient Economies is definitely a better place to begin research, but this page will do well for anyone looking to extend that research even further.
