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