Yeah, I saw that the other day - I'm still ticked off at those guys for not being around when I had to take trig!"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

I actually enjoyed studying trig and calculus.Originally posted by Raphael View Post"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

That the ancient Babylonians knew of and employed some of the concepts of trigonometry is nothing new. See for example The Crest of the Peacock: Non-European Roots of Mathematics by George Gheverghese Joseph not to mention it has long been suspected that the Babylonian clay tablet known as Plimpton 322 contains a trigonometrical table since R. Creighton Buck brought it up in 1980.Originally posted by shunyadragon View Post

I loved trig and I used it a a surveyor.Originally posted by Teallaura View PostMicah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

The point of the article is that there is a more complete translation of tablet providing more details of the Babylonian knowledge of trigonometry. Yes, there is a bit of hype here, but nonetheless the improved translation showed how the Babylonian math developed trigonometry.Originally posted by rogue06 View Post
Most likely trigonometry and the similar math of early cultures developed over time through the engineering of their building methods.Comment

Just yesterday (8-28) on a radio talk show (Larry Elder) a guest mathematician Martin Magid, a professor of mathematics at Wellesley College, explained that the Babylonian clay tablet used what we call Pythagorean triples and a base 60 numbering system. That is what I had understood.

Yeah. And it is not trig. It is a table of what we think of as Pythagorean triples but 100's of years before Pythagoras.Originally posted by Sparko View Post. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

It is generally accepted as primitive form of trig, probably developed in engineering buildings.Originally posted by 37818 View PostComment
