Plimpton 322 is a famous ancient clay tablet that dates back to around 1800 BCE from the Old Babylonian period. It is considered one of the most remarkable artifacts in the history of mathematics. Here are some key details about it: Description 	•	Material: Clay tablet inscribed with cuneiform writing. 	•	Size: Approximately 13 cm by 9 cm. 	•	Location: Housed at Columbia University, New York, in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. 	•	Discovery: Part of a collection acquired by George Arthur Plimpton in the early 20th century. Mathematical Significance 	•	Pythagorean Triples: The tablet contains a list of 15 rows of numbers, which are now understood to correspond to Pythagorean triples—sets of whole numbers (a, b, c) that satisfy the equation . 	•	Base-60 System: The Babylonians used a sexagesimal (base-60) number system, which complicates the interpretation of the numbers from a modern decimal perspective. Purpose and Debate 	•	Trigonometry Theory: Some scholars, such as Eleanor Robson, argue that Plimpton 322 was a teaching tool for algebra or geometry rather than being related to trigonometry. 	•	Alternative Trigonometry Hypothesis: In 2017, mathematicians argued that the tablet represents a unique form of trigonometry, possibly used for surveying or construction, predating the Greek approach. Unlike modern trigonometry that relies on angles and circles, the Babylonian method was based on ratios of sides of right triangles. Mystery and Open Questions 	•	Why only part of the table is preserved: Some scholars believe the tablet might be part of a larger collection or series. 	•	Intended Use: Whether it served as a school exercise, a practical guide, or something else remains debated. Plimpton 322 continues to intrigue scholars, as it reflects the sophistication of Babylonian mathematics long before similar mathematical concepts were formalized by Greek mathematicians like Pythagoras. ##plimpton322##babylonian##math##trigonometry##pythagoreantheorem##artifact##ancienthistory##fyp
