RE: The Babylonians knew trig! Revealed tablet shows
Howdy sir towjam! wow this is a fascinating post and so interesting, it's funny that our mathmaticians are so astounded. lol. This should be a humbling experience for everyone.
Yeah it was to me....and perhaps a change in our numbering system is called for? Can you imagine how that would change things?
Im still surprised that inches and yards are still used when metric is so much easier and useful....however, now there seems to be better still
howdy today sir towjam! well, I can't imagine what it would take to bring in a whole new measuring system but it should probably be done! That might take awhile. lol.
HAHA I was just imagining the people that had a substandard system trying to bring in a better system...youre right, it may take some time :)
howdy again sir towjam! I think they should hire you to start going around and explaining the system to people. and it's advantages.
LOL, let me go get my tablet and show these guys!!
Ummm can you imagine? Poor maths world will be rolling its eyes at this pleb :)
howdy sir towjam! Where would you even start? The university math departments? And then those people would have some clout to talk to legislators perhaps.
