Berlin workshops on Babylonian mathematics

The Berlin workshops were a series of six workshops that took place between 1983 and 1994 and focused on mathematical conceptualization and notation in a number of early writing systems. Although the names of the workshops varied slightly over time, most included the phase "conceptual development of Babylonian mathematics" and were supported by the Archaische Texte aus Uruk Project at Freie Universität Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. The first meeting was held at the Altorientalisches Seminar und Seminar für Vorderasiatische Altertumskunde on August 5th, 1983. Subsequent meetings were held in 1984, 1985, 1988 and 1994.

The workshops played a significant role in advancing the decipherment of Proto-cuneiform and Proto-Elamite numerals as well as the comparative study of early mathematical notation.
