Mathematics - Pleiades

Many clay tablets from
Mesopotamia
mark the roots of numbers.
Modern mathematics
moves beyond most minds, but
minimal mastery
makes life much easier.

thank you, Kim. Math has always fascinated me; I work at doing Sudoku and enjoy helping my grandson with that subject which is his strongest subject.

Thank you, Joseph, I welcome the honor you awarded my pleiades. I am doing an ABC book (almost finished) with a pleiades for each letter. I appreciate your generosity.

thank you, Andrea. Enjoyed your pleiades on the same subject, moderation in all things applies here. I use algebra still today, but usually only in helping the grandkids with homework.
