Brian Clegg:
To what extent do you believe popular histories of science and mathematics in English ignores non-Western contributions?
Brian Clegg
Historically I'd say that this was an issue, but most popular science/maths books now take into account a wide range of cultural inputs - certainly they would at the very least tend to include Arabic, Indian and Chinese.
