Re: 2061 and Ethnomathematics




   There is a nice volume that I came across a few months back,
   which uses many examples from Chinese history, and a
   smattering of references from elsewhere.

   Crump, Thomas (1990). The Anthropology of Numbers. Cambridge
      University Press, Cambridge.

   1. The ontology of number * 2. The cognitive foundations of
   numeracy * 3. Number and language * 4. Cosmology and ethnoscience
   * 5. Economy, society and politics * 6. Measurement, comparison
   and equivalence * 7. Time * 8. Money * 9. Music, poetry and
   dance * 10. Games and chance * 11. Art and architecture *
   12. The ecology of number.
