This project significantly expands the Late Babylonian mathematical corpus, also adding at least one hitherto unknown textual genre. 115 tablets, remains sparsely documented and studied compared to earlier Mesopotamian mathematics and Late Babylonian mathematical astronomy.

However, Late Babylonian mathematics, currently represented by ca. A more complete understanding of Late Babylonian mathematical practices is therefore of great importance for Assyriology and for the historiography of knowledge and science in general. astral science, divination, healing practices, commentaries, hermeneutics and cultic practices subsequently informed scholarly practices throughout the ancient world and beyond. The increasing use of mathematics in scholarship, e.g. 700 BCE – 100 AD) is a pivotal era of innovations in Mesopotamian scholarship. 60 unpu blished tablets from that collection. The project entails a comprehensive study of Late Babylonian mathematical practices attested in sources from the Babylon-Sippar collection of the British Museum, including an edition of ca.

Some of the results reported in this working paper are already published as follows: The obtained expression is supported statistically by data extracted from large collections for child language acquisition in two languages – English and French. This reasoning, applied together with classes of meaning derived from the “actor in the environment” psychological model, leads to an expression describing the complexity of a communication utterance. The processing "organizes" meaning into classes which exhibit different levels of complexity depending on the volume of the input multimodal information needed for the classification. The model expresses, on a high level of abstraction, a hierarchical principle of information transfer designed for optimization of entropy, and leads to a tree of Fibonacci. The establishing of meaning is modeled as performed within an information-processing mental system which relates multimodal information with information intrinsic to the biological system.

The study explores child language-acquisition through categorizing endogenous information into classes of meaning classified by degrees of cognitive complexity. The core hypothesis explored in this work concerns the existence of biologically determined cognitive universals that underlie meaning-representations and language faculty, and which respect principles of optimality. Finally, two fragments contain multiplications Most other fragments belong to tables with reciprocals (Section Power 39 - the longest number attested in ancient Mesopotamia and, probably, inĪll antiquity.
