Free Download Cultural Number Systems: A Sourcebook

This sourcebook presents an extensive look at cultural number systems in numeracy and writing systems. Based on a decade of research by the author, the work examines topics such as why Xerxes the First counted his army by having his men march through an enclosure big enough to hold 10,000 of them at a time, why the Hawaiian word for "twenty" means "nine and two," why an ancient Greek mathematician was driven mad by irrational numbers, and how old counting might be and how we might know this.
