A Study on the Development of Mathematical Language

Counting without numbers

Volume dedicated to the historical formation of the concept of number and to the different ways in which various civilizations developed systems to represent, manipulate and understand quantities before the consolidation of the modern number.

The document analyses how different mathematical traditions organized counting, measurement and calculation, showing how the concept of number gradually emerges as the result of transformations in mathematical language and computational methods.
