Add to baskethardcover. Condition: Near fine. First edition. Numeration is a social practice. Written numerals are conceptual tools that are transformed to fit the perceived needs of their users, and cognitive processes that affect decision-making around numerical activity are complex and involve social factors. Drawing on the triple meaning of reckonto think, to calculate, and to judgeas a framing device, Chrisomalis argues that the history of numeral systems is best considered as a cognitive history of language, writing, mathematics, and technology. Seven interlinked essays are both macro-historical and cross-cultural, with a particular focus on Roman numerals. Countering the common narrative that Roman numerals are archaic and clumsy, Chrisomalis presents examples of Roman numeral use in classical, medieval, and early modern contexts. Written numbers as a cognitive technology that each of us uses every single day, and question the assumption that whatever happened historically was destined to have happened, leading inevitably to the present. No jacket as issued. Top corners slightly bumped. Owner inscription at top of the ffep. First printing. 6¼" - 9¼". book.

Most of these are barely known today; where they are known, they are often derided as cognitively cumbersome and outdated. In Reckonings, Stephen Chrisomalis considers how humans past and present use numerals, reinterpreting historical and archaeological representations of numerical notation and exploring the implications of why we write numbers with figures rather than words.Chrisomalis shows that numeration is a social practice.

Numerical Notation (Hardcover)
Published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2010
ISBN 10: 0521878187 ISBN 13: 9780521878180
Language: English
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book is a cross-cultural reference volume of all attested numerical notation systems (graphic, non-phonetic systems for representing numbers), encompassing more than 100 such systems used over the past 5,500 years. Using a typology that defies progressive, unilinear evolutionary models of change, Stephen Chrisomalis identifies five basic types of numerical notation systems, using a cultural phylogenetic framework to show relationships between systems and to create a general theory of change in numerical systems. Numerical notation systems are primarily representational systems, not computational technologies. Cognitive factors that help explain how numerical systems change relate to general principles, such as conciseness or avoidance of ambiguity, which apply also to writing systems. The transformation and replacement of numerical notation systems relates to specific social, economic, and technological changes, such as the development of the printing press or the expansion of the global world-system. This book is a cross-cultural reference volume of all attested numerical notation systems, encompassing more than 100 such systems used over the past 5,500 years. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
