  • Summary

  • In this episode, we delve into the diverse mathematical practices that  existed in various African cultures before colonization. Inspired by the  book "Africa Counts: Number and Pattern in African Culture" by Claudia  Zaslavsky, we explore the ways in which Africans used mathematical  concepts in trade, architecture, weaving, music, and games. We challenge  the stereotype that African societies were not mathematically advanced  before contact with the West and shed light on the depth and complexity  of African mathematical practices.
