: puedes brindarme alguna informacion historica sobre las "tablas de
: multiplicar" y en particular sobre el porque del nombre "tablas" ?
Alfonso,
A good place to look into these elementary issues is D.E. Smith's
"History of Mathematics". As a matter of fact, DES devotes a whole
paragraph on "The Multiplication Table" [op cit, vol 2, pp 123-128].
