This paper is designed to serve as an introduction and historical background to ethnomathematics as a program of study. The authors wants to show that ethnomathematics includes the mathematical ideas, perspectives and practices of individuals in different cultures as manifested and transmitted in diverse modes. Any study of the history of ethnomathematics and its proponents helps us to clarify the importance of this perspective in terms of mathematics education. The development of ethnomathematics is documented here, principally as a part of the study of the development of scientific and mathematical ideas and practices made by distinct cultural groups.
