| Abstract | ||||
| The early historical records on Arithmetic’s found in Ahmous papyrus and the contributions of the scholars of the Old Library in Alexandria in Geometry and Analysis stand as grand witness of the genuine contributions of those early days of the Mathematical Sciences in Ancient Egypt. Thanks to Champollion the French scholar who deciphered the Hieroglyphic alphabet to uncover the early writings of the ancient Egyptians. During the Mediaeval era the scholars in Dar El Hekma (house of wisdom played a great role in developing farther aspects of Geometry, Analysis and Algebra. A vote of thanks go to Prof. Roshdy Rashid and his colleagues who unraveled many of the original contributions of this era. It is to be noted that the French admiration with Egyptology and the Egyptian culture is incomparable. Consequently, many different French–Egyptian relationships have developed especially in Science and Culture over the years. In this context the year 2010 was inaugurated as the France–Egypt Year of Science and Technology. It came as an excellent opportunity to strengthen the scientific relations between the researchers in the two countries. | ||||
