In 1952 received a Rockefeller Foundation travel grant to study Babylonian astronomical diaries in the British Museum, where he had access to the text stocked by the pioneer British assyriologist Theophilus Pinches between 1895 and 1900.
As successor to Otto Neugebauer (1899–1990) in Brown’s History of Mathematics Department (which Neugebauer established in 1947), Pingree numbered among his colleagues men of extraordinary learning, especially Abraham Sachs and Gerald Toomer.
Jointly with the American Assyriologist Abraham Sachs, he published Mathematical Cuneiform Texts in 1945, and this has remained a standard English-language work on Babylonian mathematics.
During his tenure at the Egyptian and Assyrian Department, British Museum, he gave assistance to scholars including Abraham Sachs and taught at London University.
