Babylonians
a) They invented a number systemb) They used base 6c) They could count up to 60

Archimedes
a) Discovered the radius of a circleb) He realised the change in the water
level when he got into a bathtub told him the mass of an object
c) Invented hydraulicsd) He was an engineere) Came up with an accurate value of pi
using other shapesf) If he had a long enough ruler he could
pick up the worldg) He worked on volumeh) Died because he was too into his
maths to realise the Romans came

b) Ideas spread from Muslims to Christians
c) The Crusades led to knowledge spreading from the Islamic World to Europe
d) They traded inventionse) They didn’t connect together much
except through warf) Muslims had more knowledge

Contacts between Muslims and Christians
a) Muslims had better scholars and more books than the Christians
b) Ideas spread from Muslims to Christiansc) The Crusades led to knowledge spreading
from the Islamic World to Europed) They traded inventions
It wasn’t really a ‘trade’ – the Christians copied Muslim ideas more
e) They didn’t connect together much except through war
Lots of war, also lots of trade and peaceful connections
f) Muslims had more knowledge about maths than the Christians who were studying the Bible
