Abstract
The corpus of Babylonian mathematical astronomy comprises about 440 cuneiform tablets and fragments from Babylon and Uruk from the period 450–50 BC. A distinctive feature of mathematical astronomy, which represents a small fraction (perhaps 5%) of the Babylonian astronomical corpus, is that astronomical quantities are computed with mathematical algorithms.
