The article was interesting, but they didn't mention that most of the ancients didn't have a zero and their number system wasn't base 10 (usually base 6). They would have had limited results. It's a shame that Iraq doesn't continue to be the marvelous world it was back in the day. Muhammed fucked all that up.
Mathematics is beautiful if you learn it the right way. I wish more Americans would embrace it beyond the economic use.
