The oldest known mathematical table is the Plimpton 322 tablet, which dates back to around 1800 BCE and was discovered in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). It contains a list of Pythagorean triples, demonstrating an understanding of right triangles long before Pythagoras. This artifact highlights the advanced mathematical knowledge of the Babylonians and their use of mathematics in practical applications such as land measurement and construction.
