Does anyone know where I can find some good references for how different cultures did math? Ideally something approachable, and the more unexpected and unusual the better.
This was an interesting reference, and has some elements of what I'm looking for:

I don't know why you have to go looking for this in the CSHPM Bulletin (http://www.cshpm.org/archives/bulletins/71-2022.pdf p. 10) but the CfP for the next CSHPM #PhilosophyOfMath #HistoryOfMath meeting is out. Special session on Underrepresented Mathematics! Deadline for abstracts Feb 1, 2023 #xp
