TITLE: Image of a math problem that was stated in Cuneiform, Arabic, Latin and Finally in modern math notation
QUESTION [29 upvotes]: Many years ago a lecturer of mine had a photocopy of a page from a book containing a math problem ( I think it was a simple quadradic equation ) that was stated/solved in Cuneiform, Arabic, Latin scripts and Finally in modern math notation.
I have contacted my lecturer but he has no idea where it was from, nor I have been able to find it using google books searches etc.
Does anyone know where to find it?
Thank you in advance

This is not quite what you where asking for, as it is the solution to the quadratic, cubic, quartic, quinitic,...  But I think you will still like it!
