PART 1

You will be assigned to a team of explorers. First, you must investigate the assigned culture. Prepare a summary with bullet statements about the development of mathematics in this culture.

- Who were the significant mathematicians of this culture?

- What topics did these mathematicians explore?

Your team will present this information to the class. You may use any visual aids that you think are necessary (overhead slides, PowerPoint, poster).

PART 2

Your team will be given a mathematical problem. Decide which culture in which time period would be able to help you solve the problem. Explain your team's selection in a one-page report.
