There Is No Question That Native Cultures In The New World Exhibit Many Forms Of Mathematical Development. This Native American Mathematics Can Best Be Described By Considering The Nature Of The Concepts Found In A Variety Of Individual New World Cultures.

Native American Mathematics, Edited By Michael P. Closs, Is The First Book To Focus On Mathematical Development Indigenous To The New World.Spanning Time From The Prehistoric To The Present, The Thirteen Essays In This Volume Attest To The Variety Of Mathematical Development Present In The Americas.
