Select a period of no more than 400 years and discuss the contributions of one culture to
mathematics. Choose a culture that existed between 3500 BCE and 500 CE. Your paper
should include the following:A brief description of three important mathematicians in this
era and their works; or description of three different relevant mathematical works/artifacts
from the period (if the author is not known).A discussion of three or more different types of
problems that were discussed in the works described above (e.g. one type of problem for
each work). This should include a statement of the problems, a complete solution of this
problem using the methods that the authors describe. Also include how the problem would
be phrased in modern terminology and how we would solve this problem today.A
discussion why the advancements in mathematics were relevant to the culture. How and in
what way do the advancements of this period have bearing on today’s mathematics? If they
do not, explain why.Grading procedure and requirements of the paper:(5 points) One the
first page (before the actual text of the paper) include the following information:Your

on all sides.It is expected that you include several pictures or diagrams that are relevant to
the discussion. The relevance of the images should be clear from the narrative in the
paper.Mathematical formulas should use the equation editor and be displayed as. Using
informal notations, such as a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is not appropriate.All papers are required to be
