I really enjoyed the section dedicated to Egyptian mathematics. It even explains to the reader how the Egyptians approached solving problems by using multiplication and division (it is very different from our modern way of using these methods, but it's very fun to solve problems the Egyptian Way). I'd be very happy to reference this book in anything I compose.
