Ethno-Mathematics and Folk Science

The place of mathematics is just after the mother tongue in the world. The words, sentences, and thoughts men use to express their conceptions, debate, and prove themselves logically are used mathematically. Otherwise, everything would seem baseless, pointless, or thoughtless. One whose mathematical conception is clear is good in debates, quizzes, and question-answers. Besides, whatever indigenous people do, folk people do mathematically. One who is weak in mathematics is known as immature; one who can solve all mathematical problems; one who can study future mathematics; one who can guess mathematical and correctly is a great mathematician. The higher mathematics taught in higher studies is practised much more in simple everyday life; the difference is that higher studies are in code language, and the problem is studied theoretically abstractly. That complicated mathematics is practised by the ethnic people practically, through their daily activities, a case. As the legend does not know how complex the mathematics they have been practising is, the highly educated people also keep them from practising this mathematics, proudly propelled by arrogance.
