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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792364818\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4301-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 479\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541652754572,"sku":"9780792364818","price":395.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792364818.jpg?v=1775744441","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792364818","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
