Apart from a few incidental results in Babylonia, mathematics in the two civilizations was not a distinct discipline, nor was it pursued for its own sake. It was a tool in the form of disconnected, simple rules which answered questions arising in the daily life of the people. Certainly nothing was done in mathematics that altered or affected the way of life. Although Babylonian mathematics was more advanced than the Egyptian, about the best one can say for both is that they showed some vigor, if not rigor, and more perseverance than brilliance.
