"Geschichte der Mathematik im Altertum in Verbindung mit antiker Kulturgeschichte" by Dr. Max Simon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the evolution of mathematics in ancient civilizations, particularly focusing on its connections with cultural developments in Egypt, Babylon, and beyond. Through detailed analysis, the book aims to provide insights into how mathematical concepts and practices influenced and were influenced by the respective societies of thetime. The opening of this text serves as a preface and introduction to the author’s extensive examination of ancient mathematics. Dr. Simon outlines the lack of historical accounts prior to the 18th century and emphasizes the necessity of historical context in understanding mathematical development. He highlights significant figures and their contributions, such as Montucla and Cantor, and discusses early civilizations’ mathematical practices, including Egypt and Babylon. Simon also sets the stage for a discussion of various mathematical concepts that have evolved over centuries, suggesting that mathematics, far from being a rigid discipline, reflects the dynamic cultural and intellectual landscapes of the ancient world.
