Quadratic Equations in Elamite Mathematics

History and Overview 2023-10-11 v1

Abstract

In this article, we study some of quadratic equations and their solutions found in the Susa Mathematical Texts (\textbf{SMT}). We show that the Susa scribes used this group of equations in different problems and took a standard approach, known as completing the square, to find solutions
