Papyrus shows ancient Egyptians using algebra and trigonometry 3,550 years ago

The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus is the oldest manuscript written in algebra and trigonometry, dating back to 3,550 years ago.
It shows that the Egyptians used first-order equations, geometric series and a second-order algebraic equation, related to the Pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c²
It also describes how to obtain an approximation of p accurate to within less than 1% and one of the earliest attempts at squaring the circle.

But they’ll be very diverse caves.

They literally build a civilization on the moon so pretty sure they could draw triangles.

And now modern day Cairo is a giant slum. Talk about a fall from grace.

They missed a little on calculating pi.
Their version was 3.1605. Not bad for the time.

What? It’s just a bunch of doodling.

Each "great" civilization invents something. The value it adds is usually adopted by the farmers and warriors of that civilization. The ability to feed your people and kill the enemy is how we've advanced.
The luxury that those two services provide is what allows scientists to create more inventions. That's what it's all about.

If they were so smart they could’ve saved a lot of time by just using a calculator. Idiots.

We find something like this here and there by luck.
Just think of what burned up in the library of Alexandria.
