Australian aboriginal and Islander mathematics

Abstract

The rich and interesting field of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mathematical concepts has been generally ignored by anthropologists, linguists and other researchers. Some mathematical knowledge has been lost forever, particularly where English or English- derived terms have replaced traditional terms. Much knowledge remains, however, where traditional languages are still spoken, and much can still be studied by those who are prepared to question the false and misleading generalisations in the literature.
