Abstract We describe two letters of 1926 from the historian of mathematics Otto Neugebauer to the Egyptologist Thomas Eric Peet ( Griffith Institute Archive , Oxford: Peet MSS 4.9). The letters concern Neugebauer's study of certain parts of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, as found in the doctoral dissertation that he had completed in Gottingen that year, for which Peet's 1923 edition of the papyrus was a major source. In the letters, we see the young Neugebauer establishing himself within the wider Egyptological community. The letters open up a discussion of Peet's own work on ancient Egyptian mathematics.

奥托·纽格鲍尔 (Otto Neugebauer) 写给托马斯·埃里克·皮特 (Thomas Eric Peet) 的两封关于古埃及数学的信

摘要 我们描述了数学史学家 Otto Neugebauer 于 1926 年写给埃及学家 Thomas Eric Peet 的两封信（格里菲斯研究所档案馆，牛津：Peet MSS 4.9）。这些信件涉及 Neugebauer 对 Rhind Mathematical Papyrus 某些部分的研究，如他当年在 Gottingen 完成的博士论文中所见，Peet 1923 年版的纸莎草纸是主要来源。在这些信件中，我们看到年轻的纽格鲍尔在更广泛的埃及学社区中确立了自己的地位。这些信件开启了对皮特自己在古埃及数学方面工作的讨论。
