This is a story about an Egyptian scribe named Ahmes. There are many times in history when we discover an artifact of an ancient culture, yet there is mystery surrounding it. This is such a case. The artifact in this case is the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus . Ahmes is the name of the scribe who wrote it.

Next: The Moscow Papyrus Up: $FILE Previous: Counting and Aritmetic The Ahmes Papyrus The Ahmes was written in hieratic, and probably originated from the Middle Kingdom: 2000-1800 BC. It claims to be a ``thorough study of all things, insight into all that exists, knowledge of all obscure secrets." In fact, it is somewhat less. It is a collection of exercises, substantially rhetorical in form, designed primarily for students of mathematics. Included are exercises in fractions notation arithmetic algebra geometry mensuration The practical mathematical tools for construction? To illustrate the level and scope of Egyptian mathematics of this period, we select several of the problems and their solutions as found in the two papryi. For example, beer and bread problems are common in the Ahmes. Problem 72. How many loaves of "strength" 45 are equivalent to 100 loaves of strength 10? Fact: strength := Invoking the rule of three , which was well known in the ancient world, we must solve the problem: Answer loaves.

Ahmes Ahmes By David Muraskin Ahmes was a scribe in Ancient Egypt who lived from approximately 1680 BCE to 1620 BCE. He is remembered solely for the Rhind Papyrus (ca. 1650 BCE), which he copied from a document originally dating from 2000 BCE. This Papyrus contains two tables of calculations (one of the tables is comparable to a modern day multiplication table and the other is series of fractions) on one side, and a series of problems based around various operations on the other. It is the tables, which have proven the main focus of interest for modern day mathematicians. However, before the mathematics is discussed one must have a proper understanding of the age in which the tables were created and also the time in which Ahmes lived. The tables were originally created during a time of great instability in Ancient Egypt. Egypt's farming economy was dependent on the flooding of the Nile. When the Nile did not flood to the proper heights for years on end, the ruling family lost their hold over the nation and upper and lower Egypt split creating what is known as the First Intermediate Period (2181-2050 BCE). This period was finally brought to an end by Mentuhotep II who "reunited" Egypt. It is during this first part of Mentuotep's regain that the tables, which appear on the Rhind Papyrus, were to have been originally crafted. Ahmes lived in a very similar time. The Nile was once again flooding poorly and this left the Egyptian ruling class weak and open to invasion. The "Semites from the Syria-Palestine region" saw their opportunity and attempted to take control. They planted settlers among the Egyptians who brought over many cultural items including the olive. This inter-cultural contact led to an expansion in the Egyptian trading patterns bringing back some of the previous prosperity.

A surviving work of Ahmes is part of the Rhind Papyrus The Rhind Papyrus so named after its discoverer in 1858, Alexander Henry Rhind, a Scottish antiquarian. It is one of the oldest mathematical texts, dating to somewhere around 17th century BC. Written by the scribe Ahmes or Ah'mose the egyptian manuscript is currently in the permanent collection of the British Museum, apart from a few small fragments held by Brooklyn Museum in New York. The scroll, 33 cm tall and over 5 meters long, was first translated in the late 19th century. Click the link for more information. now located in the British Museum The British Museum is one of the world's greatest and most famous museums. It was established in 1753 by Sir Hans Sloane, a physician and scientist who collected literature and art, on its present site at Montague House in London, United Kingdom, and was purchased by the British government for £20,000. The museum is home to some six million objects covering the story of human culture from its first beginning to the present day. Many of the artefacts are stored underneath the museum, due to lack of space. The museum opened to the public on January 15, 1759.

Funerary Statuettes Consequently, this thematic overview of 3000 years of funerary statuettes presents a somewhat artificial, anachronistic perspective which, although useful, imparts discontinuities to the narrative. Please bear with us. Preserving Integrity The goal of Egyptian funerary practices was to help the defunct reach the stage of Akh Ba , and Ka Delegation of Labor The Egyptian state apparatus relied on a sophisticated system of civil service draft that was demanded of all Egyptians. Every citizen had to work for the state for a few weeks a year (Kemp 2000:129). Egyptians naturally assumed that such a system had to exist in the kingdom of the dead.

Ahmes Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi Ahmes ægypter , antages at have levet mellem år 2000 og 1700 f.Kr. Han skrev den ældste, matematiske lærebog, vi kender. Bogen begynder således: "Forskrift til at nå til kendskab om alle dunkle ting", men den indeholder ingen egentlige matematiske regler. Den belærer nærmest gennem løsning af opgaver, og reglerne må formodentlig findes i ældre, os ubekendte lærebøger. Det er væsentlig fra denne bog, at vi har kendskab til ægyptisk matematik.

20. Wiskundigen - Ahmes ahmes. ahmes was een Egyptenaar die leefde van omstreeks 1680 voorChr. tot omstreeks 1620 voor Chr. Het Oude Egypte in ahmes tijd. http://www.wiskundeweb.nl/Wiskundegeschiedenis/Wiskundigen/Ahmes.html

Ahmes Ahmes was een Egyptenaar die leefde van omstreeks 1680 voor Chr. tot omstreeks 1620 voor Chr. Over hemzelf en zijn leven is niets bekend, dan dat hij de schrijver was van de zogenaamde 'Rhind'-papyrus, een rol papyrus met allerlei wiskundige begrippen, methoden en symbolen. Deze papyrusrol is in 1828 door de Schotse Egyptoloog Alexander Henri Rhind in Thebe gevonden. Sindsdien is het de enige bron van onze kennis over de vroege Egyptische wiskunde en het oudst bekende document over wiskunde. Ahmes beweert op dit document alleen een 200 jaar ouder document te hebben gekopieerd (uit ongeveer 1850 v.Chr.). Of Ahmes zelf een wiskundige was is niet bekend, maar hij moet er toch wel iets van hebben begrepen om deze papyrus te kunnen samenstellen. Lees verder hieronder over de Rhind-papyrus en Oud-Egyptische wiskunde... Links naar anderstalige sites: Het Oude Egypte in Ahmes' tijd Ahmes leefde in een periode in de Egyptische beschaving zonder grote farao's (13de t/m 17de dynastie, 1783 - 1560 v.Chr.) en zonder een krachtig centraal gezag. Dit was de tweede tussenperiode, tussen een krachtige 12e dynastie (farao's als Amenemhet III en Sesotris III) en de 18e dynastie (farao's als Amenhotep I, II en III en Thoetmoses I, II, III en IV).
