To show how advanced they were, they could extract square roots, solve linear systems, and solved cubic equations. Though their geometry was incorrect most of the time.
The reason that we have 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hours, and 360 degrees for a full rotation is all due to the Babylonians basing their number system on 60
The Babylonians used the formula ab = [(a + b)2 - a2 - b2]/2 to make multiplication a bit less difficult. ab = [(a + b)2 - (a - b)2]/4 shows that a table of squares is all that is needed to multiply numbers.
The Babylonians could not create a system of long division, and instead had to use a/b = a × (1/b). This rendered a table of reciprocals the only thing needed.
