凯里学院从事民族数学文化与数学人类学研究的青年学者张和平的《数学人类学:苗族数理文化》(民族出版社2013年11月出版)一书从苗族生活中的数学知识、苗族民俗数学及其数学思维决策、苗族服饰银饰凝聚的数学文化、苗族建筑艺术中的数理文化、苗族古歌中的数学文化及哲学思想、苗族数学文化及其教育等方面,以全息的研究方法、详实的研究资料和文理交融、图文并茂的写作风格,从数学、人类学、文化学、历史学、社会学、民族学、教育学、建筑学、生态学、物理学、哲学和美学等层面剖析了苗族文化中的数理文化,为中国数学人类学从研究内容、研究路径和研究方法上提供了范式。
Mathematical Anthropology: Mathematical Culture of Miao, published by National Press, in November,2013, is written by Zhang He-ping, a young scholar on ethno-mathematics and mathematical anthropology in Kaili College. This book discusses the mathematical knowledge in daily life of Miao, ethno-mathematics and mathematical thinking of Miao, the mathematical culture in costumes, silver decoration, art of architecture, ancient songs of Miao,and the application in education etc. It embodies the writing style with holographic research methods, detailed research materials, blending liberal arts, text and graphics. It analyzes the mathematical culture of Miao from such perspectives as mathematics, culture, history, anthropology, sociology, ethnology, education, architecture, ecology,physics, philosophy and aesthetic and so on. Therefore, it can be said that this book provides a paradigm for the Chinese mathematics anthropology in research content, research approaches and methodologies.
