From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudia Zaslavsky (January 12, 1917 – January 13, 2006) was an American educator and ethnomathematician. She advanced the study of the links between mathematics and world cultures, especially with her pioneering book Africa Counts, that extended to Africa the work of Karl Menninger about mathematics in ordinary life in other parts of the world.
