We will explore some ways that ancient cultures used mathematical ideas for counting, trading, measuring, keeping track of time, scheduling religious practices, recreation, and design. As we become familiar with these practices we will gain insights into each culture.

This course requires no mathematical expertise, only curiosity about those who came before us and their traditions. Expect a fun and lively course with interactive activities.

This study group, led by Instructor Joan Jones, will meet on Mondays on November 8 and November 15. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.
