March 27, 2024: Mathematics in Native American Cultures
Zoom and In Person: 4:00 pm in Darwin 103

MATHEMATICS IN NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURES | Leslie Banta, Mendocino College

What kind of mathematics do we see in Native American cultures? Number systems, cultural objects, and societal prevalence provide rich topics for exploration in a mathematics classroom that engage Native American (and other) students with the curriculum. The speaker will share her experience developing and teaching a liberal arts math course that honors and celebrates the mathematics and cultural knowledge that exist in Native American cultures.
