Mathematical cognition related to the large numbers in early societies: A study based on 5th-century Buddhist Commentaries in Sri Lanka.
Universal presentations and interpretations of the history of mathematics have now been challenged, identifying the need of resurrecting hitherto marginalized contributions. In such studies, cognitive factors influencing the related development trajectories play a crucial role. Different societies would have had different mathematical cognitions contributing to the development of distinct forms of mathematics. This study attempts to surface the related cognitive contents of using large numbers. The principal source used for the study—the Buddhist Commentaries—determines the period and region covered. As such, it explores the conditions prevailed in 5th century CE (approximately) in Sri Lanka.
期刊介绍：
Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
