Abstract
Views THE history of mathematics has an image problem. Pythagoras, Euclid and their pals honed the tools for proving theorems and that led them to the biggest results of ancient times. Maths outside ancient Greece has often been put to one side as "ethnomathematics", as if it were a side story to the real history. [Extracted from the article]
