Mathematics Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Mathematics
consists of essays dealing with the mathematical knowledge and
beliefs of cultures outside the United States and Europe. In
addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American,
Aboriginal Australian, Inca, Egyptian, and African mathematics,
among others, the book includes essays on Rationality, Logic and
Mathematics, and the transfer of knowledge from East to West. The
essays address the connections between science and culture and
relate the mathematical practices to the cultures which produced
them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive
bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book
fills a gap in both the history of science and in cultural studies.
It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate
students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries
serving those groups.
