Presenting mathematical ideas of people from a variety of small-scale and traditional cultures, this book humanizes our view of mathematics and expands our conception of what is mathematical. It demonstrates that traditional cultures have mathematical ideas that are far more substantial and sophisticated than is generally acknowledged.
