gold Here is some eTCL starter code for Babylonian Square Side Rule & Diagonal Algorithm in calculator shell.

The Babylonian Square Side Rule from clay tablets was loaded into an eTCL calculator shell. The Babylonian Square Side Rule is of historical interest, but the rule is not very accurate and dependent on an initial input or guess. The square side rule with a single trial input becomes less accurate with increasing N. In some math problems, the Babylonians used the Square Side Rule for calculating the diagonals of squares and rectangles. The Babylonians did not use algebra notation, so the reader will have to bear some anachronisms in the eTCL pseudocode. Succesive or iterated math solutions are called algorithms and the Square Side Rule procedure is one of the earliest algorithms documented. The TCL procedures are descendants of this idea.

In the Babylonian problem texts on clay tablets, there are numbers and coefficients which were used in determining geometric dimensions, the amount of materials, and the daily work rates of the workers. One difficulty is determining the effective power of the numbers in base 60. For example, 20 could represent either 20*3600, 20*60, 20, 20/60, 20/3600, or even 1/20. The basic dimensions of geometric figures and final tallies were presented in the Babylonian accounts on clay tablets, but sometimes the calculations were left off the tablet, broken off, or garbled. At least one approach for the modern reader and using modern terminology is to develop the implied algebraic equations from the Babylonian numbers. Then the eTCL calculator can be run over a number of testcases to validate the algebraic equations. In the eTCL code, extra significant digits are retained to check the function errors, but not to imply greater precision in the algorithm.

For the first testcase of sqrt 2, the initial trial_square_root entry of 2 gave an error of 6.06 percent. For the second testcase of sqrt 10, the initial trial_square_root entry of 3 gave an error of 0.138 percent. For the third testcase, the initial trial_square_root entry of 9 gave an error of 0.555 percent. An iterative solution with successive trial_square_root entries loaded as 9, 10.05555, and 10.000153437 showed 1.177E-8 percent error in three interations.

In a previous wiki page, an eTCL calculator was used to generate Babylonian triplets which are examples from the tablet Plimpton 322 and many other papers. Mansfield and Wildberger have postulated that the Babylonian triplet listings in Plimpton 322 and auxiliary triplets were used in determining the diagonals and side ratios of right triangles, ref below. Not sure I comprehend all the Mansfield and Wildberger efforts, but an eTCL calculator could be adapted to generate the Babylonian triplet table and calculate the diagonals and side ratios of right triangles from a subset of numbers, compatible with the standard reciprocal table. There is a infinite set of right triangles, but a finite subset of right triangle and side ratios that can be manipulated with the sexagesimal positive integer subset in Babylonian standard reciprocal table.

Model problem for tablet Plimpton 322 ) Setting up model problem with a priori knowledge. A right triangle has known sides of diagonal 15, base 12, and unknown short side (9). Pythagorean theorem is given in TCL format below. Alternate method if a similar triangle can be found, the sides of similar triangles can be solved by ratios. The numbers for diagonal 15 and base 12 can be factored as 3*5 and 2*2*3. The factor of 3 is found in diagonal and base, reduction to sides 5 and 4. If triangle is similar to 5:4:3, then unknown side is 3*3 or 9.

          set solution [sqrt [- [* 15. 15.] [* 12. 12. ]] ] # answer 9.
          # using pseudocode on similar triangles
          2 quantities needed and lookup table
          entries for diagonal_side and long_side
          posit solution exists between 2 similar triangles in look up table
          factor sides 15 and 12 as 3*5 and 2*2*3
          TCL procedure can factor diagonal and long side
          here in trial code, all factors are low primes
          solution of short_side as large single prime is possible
          apparently, infinite numbers of primes exist as possible short_sude,
          >> if not limited in table <<
          if beyond table, solution will not be found
          find common factor of 3
          unknown side from similar 5:4:3 triangle is 3 times 3
          for B. ss.  solution, short_side = diagonal * (1/(3*5) & long_side *(1/(2*2*3) 
            trial_square_root,   w.a. guess
            formula factor , usually 2 or 3
            quantity "rooty? lacking one" from 322 tablet
            Babylonian trial formula from square side rule
            set approximate_rooty [* [/ 1. $formula_factor ] [+ [* [/ 1. $trial_square_root ] $target_number] $trial_square_root ]   ]
            set side5  $trial_square_root
            set side6 [+ [* [/ 1. $trial_square_root ] $target_number] $trial_square_root ]  
            set side7 [* [/ 1. $formula_factor ]] 
     check approx. root from square side rule with sqrt function in TCL

By inspection in modern terms and decimal notation, the numbers on the remaining part of the tablet ranged in magnitude from 3 to 18548 and fitted into a right triangles give acute angles from 44.8 to 31.3 degrees. In the translations and this page, the term diagonal is preferred to hypotenuse of a right triangle. On the Plimpton tablet, there are many prime numbers in the extant triplets, as noticed in several papers. A triangle with common factors on the diagonal and the other two sides can be reduced into a similar triangle. A triangle with a prime number on any side (and the prime number not a common factor) cannot be reduced further.

Testcases Section

In planning any software, it is advisable to gather a number of testcases to check the results of the program. The math for the testcases can be checked by pasting statements in the TCL console. Aside from the TCL calculator display, when one presses the report button on the calculator, one will have console show access to the capacity functions (subroutines).

Pushbutton Operation

For the push buttons, the recommended procedure is push testcase and fill frame, change first three entries etc, push solve, and then push report. Report allows copy and paste from console.

For testcases in a computer session, the eTCL calculator increments a new testcase number internally, eg. TC(1), TC(2) , TC(3) , TC(N). The testcase number is internal to the calculator and will not be printed until the report button is pushed for the current result numbers. The current result numbers will be cleared on the next solve button. The command { calculate; reportx } or { calculate ; reportx; clearx } can be added or changed to report automatically. Another wrinkle would be to print out the current text, delimiters, and numbers in a TCL wiki style table as

  puts " %| testcase $testcase_number | value| units |comment |%"
  puts " &| volume| $volume| cubic meters |based on length $side1 and width $side2   |&"
