Three thousand and seven hundred years old mud tablet was discovered in the south of Iraq. The tablets that go back to the age of Babylonians in a place was called Sumer, in Mesopotamia (Iraq today) shows the origins of the mathematics. The discovery of the tablet has a massive impact on the modern Mathematical system. It also confirmed that Babylonians developed trigonometry were fifteen thousand years more advanced than the Greeks! The Sumerian math was very accurate it was even used ancient Sumerian and Babylonians architects to build the most magnificent temples, canals, and castles in Mesopotamia. Babylonians used the base of sixty instead of the ten because merely, the sixty base is much easier to be divided by three. Many experts and scientists have proven that the base of sixty is more accurate than the base of the ten (which is used in the modern day). The Sumerians had their own numbers symbols which is similar to the contemporary numbers, these Sumerians tablets that describe the trigonometry opens new possibilities for the modern mathematics research and improves our understanding of the math as math students around the world.
