  • Returning to Egypt
    ::返回埃及

    The lesson  discussed  how math has been used throughout history. Ancient Babylonians first encountered the need for square roots when finding the dimensions of a rectangle using a method that  you will explore later in this chapter. The ancient Babylonians compiled  lists  of on a  tablet named BM92698 . They used these lists to quickly find square roots and cube roots in problems involving area, volume, and missing lengths of shapes.
    ::讨论数学在整个历史中如何使用的教训。古代巴比伦人首先在使用本章稍后将探讨的方法找到矩形的维度时遇到需要平方根的问题。古代巴比伦人汇编了一个名为BM926988的平板板板上的列表,他们利用这些列表在涉及形状面积、体积和缺失长度的问题中迅速找到平方根和立方根。

    Another tablet named YBC7289, stored at Yale University in the Babylonian Collection, is the first historical record showing the computation of a square root. This discovery set the stage for the use of computational mathematics in architecture, setting the stage for ancient Egyptians to construct temples, pyramids, and shrines. 
    ::另一个名为YBC7289的平板电脑存放在耶鲁大学的巴比伦藏书中,这是第一个显示平方根计算的历史记录。 这一发现为在建筑中使用计算数学创造了舞台,为古埃及人建造庙宇、金字塔和神庙创造了舞台。

    While the ancient Babylonians used clay tablets to record information about their culture, Egyptians use the oldest form of paper known as p apyrus. One document, known as the Rhind Papyrus,  dates back to around 1650 BCE and shows how Egyptians used square roots. Egyptians had to use math to make precise architectural measurements. The Moscow Mathematical Papyrus shows the following example involving a square root:
    ::古代巴比伦人使用粘土板记录有关其文化的信息,而埃及人则使用被称为papyrus(papyrus)的最古老的纸张形式。 一份被称为Rhind Papyrus(Rhind Papyrus)的文件可以追溯到1650 BCE(BCE)左右,它显示了埃及人如何使用平方根。 埃及人不得不使用数学来进行精确的建筑测量。 莫斯科数学派皮鲁斯(Moscoscome Macistical Papyrus)展示了以下涉及平方根的例子:

    The Egyptian word for square root is “knbt,” pronounced kenbet, which translates to corner or right angle. This word was chosen because square roots are often used in   g eometric applications. They used the symbol⎡ to represent the square root. The symbol we currently use actually comes from the Egyptian symbol. The symbol, as shown below,  is called a radical and the number inside it is called the radicand.
    ::平方根的埃及词是“ knbt ” , 直译为“ knbt ” , 转换为角或右角。 选择这个词是因为正方根常用于几何应用。 它们使用符号\\\ 来表示平方根。 我们目前使用的符号实际上来自埃及符号。 如下文所示, 符号被称为激进符号, 其内的数字被称为弧。

    One way  police officers  use math is to determine the speed of the cars involved in a car accident. Police officers can figure out the speed of a car before the accident by measuring the length of the skid mark left by the car. They use the formula  30 d f  where d  is the length of the skid mark and f  is the drag factor (a measure of friction). This formula will give  you the speed in miles per hour. Use the interactive below to approximate the speed of the car to the nearest tenth.
