Question

What advancements did ancient Egyptians make in math and science?

Answer 1

Mathematics. - Ancient Egyptians could perform the four basic mathematical operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—use fractions, compute the volumes of boxes and pyramids, and calculate the surface areas of rectangles, triangles, and circles 
- They understood basic concepts of algebra and geometry, and could solve simple sets of simultaneous equations 
- Mathematical notation was decimal, and based on hieroglyphic signs for each power of ten up to one million. 
- Ancient Egyptian mathematicians had a grasp of the principles underlying the Pythagorean theorem 
- The golden ratio seems to be reflected in many Egyptian constructions, including the pyramids 

Science: 
- Many advanced scientific technologies, with much being found in picture form and in three-dimensional models throughout Egypt. 
- Able to work in fields of alchemy, biology, chemistry, dentistry, anesthesiology, air flight, and the electromagnetic energies of the Great Pyramid 
- The heavy animal may be a ancient symbol for heavy electrons
