While enjoying mi café, Daniel González pointed me to the Nepohualtzintzin, the ancient Maya system of mathematics that precisely counted the phenomena of life, from 1 to billions, in matrix form. Its explained in this video (Spanish) and what I find fascinating is that mathematics was inherently linked to the understanding of life phenomena. Square roots are feminine; Cube roots are masculine; Third level of numerical values is based on the number of days of a childs gestation, and so on. The precise accounting of phenomena (including the sale of corn) is geared towards fostering awareness that accounting and economics serve to improve our human relations and quality of life.
