Excerpt from Tablets From the R. Campbell Thompson Collection in Haskell Oriental Museum: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of Semitic Languages and Literatures)
The tablets here published belong to a collection presented to the University of Chicago in 1908, by Mr. R. Campbell Thompson, formerly assistant professor of the Semitic lan guages in the University. It is now known as the bi.c.t. Collection and contains, in addition to the tablets herein pu_b lished, (1) a few other badly broken contract tablets; (2) about fifty fragments of tablets, including the fragments of many astronomical texts; (8) nearly two hundred cones or fragments of cones of Gudea.
Most of the tablets are in a poor state of preservation; many crumble in the hands, while several others have been rubbed so badly that the text is scarcely legible. This has Irendered work on them very diffit. Few restorations have been made these are inclosed in brackets in the transliterations. Every trace of a Sign has been indicated in the texts.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of mathematical multiplication tables from the Neo-Babylonian period. These tables represent the only known form of recorded mathematical education from ancient Mesopotamia, a region that is often credited as the birthplace of mathematics. The author provides a transcription, translation, and investigation into the methods used to create the tables, offering a unique glimpse into educational practices of antiquity. Babylonian scribes used a sexagesimal system for mathematical calculations and early primary education involved memorization of multiplication tables in order to master this complex system. The author argues that the multiplication tables not only represent a method of teaching arithmetic but also provided an understanding of the ordinal relationships between Mesopotamian numbers. This study provides a significant contribution to our knowledge of the development of mathematics and education in ancient Mesopotamia. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
