Extractions: Next: The Moscow Papyrus Up: $FILE Previous: Counting and Aritmetic 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 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:

Extractions: Ahmes is the scribe who wrote the Rhind Papyrus (named after the Scottish Egyptologist Alexander Henry Rhind who went to Thebes for health reasons, became interested in excavating and purchased the papyrus in Egypt in 1858). Ahmes claims not to be the author of the work, being, he claims, only a scribe. He says that the material comes from an earlier work of about 2000 BC. The papyrus is our chief source of information on Egyptian mathematics. The Recto contains division of 2 by the odd numbers 3 to 101 in unit fractions and the numbers 1 to 9 by 10. The Verso has 87 problems on the four operations, solution of equations, progressions, volumes of granaries, the two-thirds rule etc. The Rhind Papyrus, which came to the British Museum in 1863, is sometimes called the 'Ahmes papyrus' in honour of Ahmes. Nothing is known of Ahmes other than his own comments in the papyrus.

Extractions: 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.

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.

http://www.wiskundeweb.nl/Wiskundegeschiedenis/Wiskundigen/Ahmes.html

Extractions: 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...
