{"product_id":"mathematics-across-cultures-ubiratan-dambrosio-9781402002601","title":"Mathematics Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Mathematics","description":"\u003cem\u003eMathematics Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Mathematics\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ubiratan D'Ambrosio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1402002602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402002601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.12w x 1.08d","brand":"Ubiratan D'Ambrosio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925418836223,"sku":"9781402002601","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5253b6c4-ceda-49da-b311-ee56c7fca92b.jpg?v=1681077163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematics-across-cultures-ubiratan-dambrosio-9781402002601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
