Yup!! I agree -"Ancient mathematicians" May be you should also try " Vedic Mathematics" Literally the best form of mathematics as per me. I have a hard copy of one( by- Jagadguru Swāmī Shrī Srī Bharatī Krsna). Literally a must one for mathematics' lovers...
Are they available for free reading on Google books??
