Abstract
Abstract
Every known human society has the capacity to manipulate quantity; in this sense, mathematics is panhuman. The extent to which any individual or group pays special attention to mathematical concepts, however, is crossculturally variable. The study of the cultural, (pre)historical, and social aspects of numeration and arithmetic—the foundations of mathematics—is preoccupied with the tension between the universal and specific aspects of the subject.
