1994 Daily Tel. 18 Aug. 16/3 Progressives prefer ‘ethnomathematics’: the ‘natural’ mathematics practised by, say, South American weavers of fishing nets, who have come to develop their own specialised geometric skills.

1997 N.Y. Times (Nexis) 20 Dec. b7/3 Ethnomathematics now has another purpose. As a recent course outline on the subject put it, ‘Mathematics is a cultural construct’.
