 ===== MesoCalc =====
-MesoCalc automates the basic operations that were performed routinely in mathematical and economic activities in Mesopotamia. The numerical and metrological systems adopted in MesoCalc reflect the standard of Old Babylonian scribal schools. Most of the operations attested in other documentations (for example, third or first millennium texts) can be performed with MesoCalc, with some adaptations. MesoCalc attempts to adhere as far as possible to the ancient notions of numbers, quantities and operations as explained in the tutorial (soon posted here). \\
