Egyptian Mathematics

Egyptians have shaped the infrastructure of mathematics thousands of years ago; even the Greeks have followed the footsteps that Egyptians left behind such as their knowledge and understanding algebra, arithmetic and geometry for tax purposes and other calculations in that time. As we can see, it is obvious how amazing the Egyptian monuments are; this indicates that the Egyptians had an extreme knowledge of applied mathematics. These building looks almost impossible to build in the modern day, and the best example is the pyramids. Egyptians primary goal was to focus more on problem-solving that encouraged them to operate as a society rather than identifying laws in math. Even the great Greek philosopher Aristotle once declared that the work of many great Egyptian mathematicians inspired and helped to develop astronomy, geometry, and the basis of mathematics that later helped the Greek to grow it even more.
