In the article Iraq: the history of mathematics and the aftermath of war, scholar Eleanor Robson examines the ways in which the war in Iraq has impacted mathematical artifacts. In her words, "This is my attempt to assess the damage to Iraq's mathematical and cultural heritage, based on the expert assessments and eyewitness reports, and to suggest some practical ways to aid the recovery of Iraqi intellectual life."
Included in the article are several references, including sites for learning more about Iraqi (Islamic, Mesopotamian) mathematics.
