In "The Number Concept: Its Origin and Development," Levi L. Conant embarks on an intellectual exploration of the evolution of numerical understanding throughout history. Through a systematic examination of mathematical concepts, Conant delves into the philosophical underpinnings and cultural influences that shaped numerical thought, from prehistoric tallying systems to the sophisticated abstractions of modern mathematics. His analytical approach incorporates both historical context and interdisciplinary perspectives, reflecting a rich tapestry of insights that illustrate how numbers are not merely symbols, but foundational elements of human cognition and communication. The prose is both accessible and erudite, designed to engage readers from various academic backgrounds. Levi L. Conant, an eminent mathematician and educator, was deeply influenced by the mathematical climate of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an era marked by rapid advancements in both pure and applied mathematics. His scholarly pursuits underline his belief in the importance of understanding the historical and cultural dynamics that inform mathematical concepts. This work stands as a testament to his dedication to making complex ideas approachable while preserving their intellectual rigor. For those intrigued by the intersection of history, culture, and mathematics, "The Number Concept" is an invaluable resource. Conant's thorough investigation not only fosters a deeper appreciation for mathematics but also serves as a profound reminder of how number systems reflect human thought. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of mathematics and its historical progression.

This is a book which though small bears evidence of a wonderful amount of research and labor. The author, Professor Conant, has drawn from every possible source to give the reader information upon the origin of number, the use ol numerals, the terms used in mathematics, in the weights and measures, and in every conceivable direction where number comes into use. At first sight the book seems to be dry, or, to say the least, adapted only to the comprehension of those to whom mathematics is a delight or a necessity; but as one looks over the pages very interesting matter is revealed and there is an immense amount of information written in a very attractive style. --"The Buffalo Commercial."Prof. L. L. Conant, of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in his opening chapter on "Counting'' in his just published work on " The Number Concept, Its Origin and Development," says: "Among the speculative questions which arise in connection with the study of arithmetic from a historical standpoint the origin of number is one that has provoked the most lively discussion and has led to a great amount of learned research among the primitive and savage languages of the human race.Prof. Conant can find no trace in the history of even the most barbarous tribes where there is not at least some familiarity with the number concept. This knowledge is in some cases extremely limited. Among some of the forest tribes of Brazil and the native races of Australia the knowledge of numbers does not go beyond 1 and 2, or 1, 2 and 3, but there is the knowledge all the same. There is at least the concept even in the lowest condition of savagery of a difference between one and two, or at least between one and many.Some idea of the scope of this most interesting work may be had from the chapter titles, Counting, Number System Limits, Origin of Number Words, Miscellaneous Number Bases, The Quinary System, and the Vigesimal System. The work shows great research and Prof. Conant has drawn as far as possible upon original resources. He has also taken great care in the selection of his authorities, and makes his work an attractive one even to those who have little or no interest in mathematics. --"The Boston Daily Advertiser."

Among the speculative questions which arise in connection with the study of arithmetic from a historical standpoint, the origin of number is one that has provoked much lively discussion, and has led to a great amount of learned research among the primitive and savage languages of the human race. A few simple considerations will, however, show that such research must necessarily leave this question entirely unsettled, and will indicate clearly that it is, from the very nature of things, a question to which no definite and final answer can be given.Among the barbarous tribes whose languages have been studied, even in a most cursory manner, none have ever been discovered which did not show some familiarity with the number concept. The knowledge thus indicated has often proved to be most limited; not extending beyond the numbers 1 and 2, or 1, 2, and 3. Examples of this poverty of number knowledge are found among the forest tribes of Brazil, the native races of Australia and elsewhere, and they are considered in some detail in the next chapter. At first thought it seems quite inconceivable that any human being should be destitute of the power of counting beyond 2. But such is the case; and in a few instances languages have been found to be absolutely destitute of pure numeral words.
