The ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia developed a complex system of metrology from 3000 BCE. From 2600 BCE onwards, the Sumerians wrote multiplication tables on clay tablets and dealt with geometrical exercises and division problems. The earliest traces of the Babylonian numerals also date back to this period.[9]
