This applet allows you to explore one of the algorithms used in ancient Babylon to perform multiplication. [br][list][*]Take a look at the [url=http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/HistTopics/Babylonian_mathematics.html]MacTutor page on Babylonian mathematics[/url].[br][/*][*]Which algorithm is illustrated in the applet? (Hint: the product illustrated is 2 x 5.)[br][/*][*]Visualize other products by moving the pink point, and then the mauve one.[br][/*][*]Write a short note connecting the applet to the algorithm.[br][/*][*]How might you use this applet in the classroom, integrating history & maths?[/*][/list]
