For many of us, the mathematics of Afrika is hidden in plain sight. Many of us have been conditioned to be like the proverb: Ɔhɔhoɔ ani akɛseakɛseɛ, nanso ɔmfa nhu hwee – Although the stranger’s eyes may be big, s/he doesn’t really see anything. The math and science of Afrika is all around us, but like the constellations overhead, or the smell of the wind blowing in front of our houses, many of us have been conditioned to ignore many of those fundamental things around us.
This book takes us back and reminds us how to truly see the mathematics of Afrika – which, fortunately for us, is literally written in the stars. From the Afrikan women who started it all, to pyramid math, to the foundations of cartography and an excerpt from one of our Warrior Scholars who breaks down the politics of math and science this book is sure to be the medicine for “stranger’s eyes.”
And there’s MORE! This book also features actual mathematics problems in Mdw Ntr from one of the oldest mathematical texts known – the Iahmesu Mathematical Papyrus. The original Mdw Ntr is given and translated into the Akan/Twi language as well as into english. Become skilled in the Correct Methods for Conducting Research into Nature today!
