Abstract

This article is the result of research work whose objective was to investigate mathematical matrices of African descent and to weave reflections that question the African presence in mathematics teaching, in particular in the teaching of algebraic calculus. Through historical analysis procedures, we investigated the Egyptian-African presence in the development of mathematical thinking from about 2000 BC to 332 BC, which corresponds to the period of the rise, heyday, and decline of Pharaonic Egypt and the early phase of the Hellenic period.
