Mathematics Embedded in Culture: The Weaves of Batak Basketry
A close look at the art of basket weaving of the Batak indigenous community in Palawan; Philippines; discloses the depth of mathematics present in the weaves of the baskets. Using white and black one-sided bamboo strips; Batak weavers are able to construct a basket of a given size that displays high...
