Sexagesimal
For example the largest sexagesimal digit is "59". Thus, a measurement of time such as 3:23:17 can be interpreted as a whole sexagesimal number (no sexagesimal point), meaning . wikipedia.org

Canon Sinuum (Bürgi)
The Canon Sinuum was a historic table of sines thought to have given the sines to 8 sexagesimal places between 0 and 90 degrees in steps of 2 arc seconds largest trigonometrical table actually contained in the Fundamentum Astronomiae is a table giving the sines for every minute of the quadrant and to 5 to 7 sexagesimal wikipedia.org

Exact arctangent of product of tangents > Calculate $x$, if $$\tan(x)=\tan9\tan69\tan33$$ (Using sexagesimal degrees) Since $\tan3x=\tan(60-x)\tan x \tan(60+x)$: \begin{align*} \tan27&=\tan69\tan9\tan51\\\ \implies\t...
$$ \tan(x)=\tan(9)\tan(69)\tan(33) $$ $$ \tan(x) = \frac{\tan(39)\tan(3)}{\tan(9)} $$ Thus, $$ \tan^2(x) = \tan(3)\tan(33)\tan(39)\tan(69) $$ $$ \tan^2(x) = \tan(3)\tan(3-36)\tan(3-72)\tan(3+36) $$ $$ \tan^2(x)\tan(75) = \tan(3-72)\tan(3-36)\tan(3)\tan(3+36)\tan(3+72) $$ I will now show that , $$ \t...

Babilonic notation to decimal notation. Example $1;12 \cdot 15$ I'm currently working in a program that convert numbers in babilonic notation into decimal numbers. The problem I have is that the example and requiremen...
I presume the ";" separates base-60 digits, and the "$\cdot$" is the analog of a decimal point, so $1;12\cdot 15$ stands for $1 \times 60 + 12 + 15/60$, which indeed is $72.25$ in decimal notation. More generally, $$ a_k; a_{k-1}; \ldots ; a_0 \cdot a_{-1} ; a_{-2}; \ldots a_{-m} = \sum_{j=-m}^{k} 6...
