Moses’
Calendar |
A 7-day week justifies an
use of a solar calendar for Jews. A
rare prayer, Birkat Hachama,
Leviticus and Odyssey book XII
confirm such a hypothesis; also
Exodus 26 and Psalm 90 have logical
ties with solar computations. Adding
a whole week once every 28 years,
1,120 years and 62,720 years we can
reach a perfect value of the
sidereal solar year, using a unique
7-year calendar, whose years can be
named like the days of the week. |

A
16th century chronicler makes a
list of Incan numbers in his
manuscript. Some terms including
huno, almost impossible to
translate,
led scholars towards two distinct
problematical solutions. Thanks to
the help deriving from the
redevelopment of the Incan
calculating
mechanism Mathematics is allowing
us to get to the final solution of
this huge linguistic problem. A
better understanding of Incan
numbers
and their way to perform
calculations will leadto further
insights
about Andean civilizations.

THE
SAVED KINGDOM
|
An abacus, drawn by
Felipe Guaman Poma
de Ayala (fig. 0), allows us to
discover the
Inca astronomical reckoning which
is
founded on a mixed base 36-40
numeral system, built on numbers
belonging to Fibonacci sequence.
Such an eccentric base, confirmed
by many archaeological
findings, reveals
considerable astronomical
knowledge, like Venus and
Mercury’s
cycles.
The same
abacus shows the Inca sidereal
solar year, with its upsetting
accuracy,
and a wonderful
perpetual
calendar, surprisingly based on
number 5. Some application of the
Inca
system, like
the Atahualpa
calculator, is possible even
nowadays.

Egyptian
Nuragic Trigonometry
|
We
propose the last research of our
prof. Nicolino De
Pasquale. Starting from the Imenmes
Games at the Louvre, he
reconstructs Egyptian Nuragic
mathematics and trigonometry.
Clicking on link you can freely
download and learn of the rotating
ruler of Imenmes and of mathematical
and trigonometric functions that
are used in describing the growth of
plants and flowers. A 3 D
extension of ancient Mediterranean
knowledge lead to a wonderful Non
Euclidean space, which is very
powerful in calculating direction
cosines.

Andean
Calculators
|
Despite
the general
conviction that the data recorded on
QUIPUSES were calculated by means
of YUPANAS (Mackey et al., 1990,
Urton, 2002: 119, Sempat, 2002:124;
Quilter, 2002 (while doing accounts,
making and untying knots would be
really too difficult….), not only
have these YUPANAS had hard being
recognized as the main instruments
of calculations in the Andean world,
mostly outside Peru, but, actually
they have often been presented as
nothing less than fortress models
even toys, too. |

First
article written by Nicolino De
Pasquale about the Mayas' maths.
Other
passages will be added as soon as
the acts of the International
Meeting
are published (the meeting,
organized by the IILA - Italian and
Latinamerican Institute-, was held
in Rome on October, the 21st 2003,
and dealt about the "Precolumbian
Mathematical Calculation") |

The
Huari Abacus
|
At the
same time of the Tiwanaku
culture,which was featured by a
priestly
mould, the Huari culture was growing
along the Peruvian coast. The
latter was quite similar to the
former because it used the same
instruments and methods of
calculation as described in the
enclosure
dealing with the Huari abacus. |
