History and Overview 2023-05-30 v1

Abstract

This article studies the application of the Pythagorean theorem in the Susa Mathematical Texts (\textbf{SMT}) and we discuss those texts whose problems and related calculations demonstrate its use. Among these texts, \textbf{SMT No.\,1} might be the most important as it contains a geometric application of the Pythagorean theorem.
