History of mathematics in Africa
Ancient Egypt is located in the northeast of Africa, downstream of the Nile. Fertile soil and water resources have created the splendid scenery of ancient Egypt, making it one of the four ancient civilizations. Ancient Egypt occupies an extremely important position in the history of the development of human civilization, and it is also the area where characters were created earlier in the world. Around 4000 BC, hieroglyphics were produced in ancient Egypt, and written records were gradually used? In fact, papyrus plays a decisive role in the inheritance of human civilization. In addition, ancient Egypt has also made remarkable achievements in architecture and natural sciences, such as pyramids, sphinx, solar calendar, human body structure and embalmed mummies.

Although education in ancient Egypt was composed of family education and school education, the development of school education was more systematic and perfect. In order to maintain state power and continue human civilization, the rulers of ancient Egypt set up special educational institutions to train all kinds of talents and successors to serve the ruling class. Therefore, schools in ancient Egypt gradually evolved into places to train talents needed by rulers, and the rights of educated people were completely enjoyed by princes and nobles, which also reflected the strong class color in ancient Egyptian education.
