{"product_id":"africa-and-mathematics-dirk-huylebrouck-9783030040369","title":"Africa and Mathematics: From Colonial Findings Back to the Ishango Rods","description":"This volume on ethnomathematics in Central Africa fills a gap in the current literature, focusing on a region rarely explored by other publications. It highlights the discovery of the Ishango rod, which was found to be the oldest mathematical tool in humanity's history, thereby shifting the origin of mathematics to the heart of Africa, and explores the different scientific hypotheses that emerged as a result. While it contains some high-level mathematics, the non-mathematical reader can easily skip these portions and enjoy the book's survey of African history, culture, and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dirk Huylebrouck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030040364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030040369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Dirk Huylebrouck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979085644031,"sku":"9783030040369","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51083cbd-84ae-4ff6-85ac-b4b4558d222e.jpg?v=1683244094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/africa-and-mathematics-dirk-huylebrouck-9783030040369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
