Did the pre-Columbian Amerindians make important contributions to math and science?

> The pre-classic Maya and their neighbours had independently developed the concept of zero by at least as early as 36 BCE, and we have evidence of their working with sums up to the hundreds of millions, and with dates so large it took several lines just to represent them. Despite not possessing the concept of a fraction, they produced extremely accurate astronomical observations using no instruments other than sticks, and were able to measure the length of the solar year to a far higher degree of accuracy than that used in Europe (their calculations produced 365.242 days, compared to the modern value of 365.242198), as well as the length of the lunar month (their estimate was 29.5308 days, compared to the modern value of 29.53059).

>Aryans in India
And these Aryans are even more genetically and culturally removed from whiteys than Arabs are. The vast majority of science and technology advancements occurred in China and India for thousands of years, often independent of the Near East/Levant. Eurofags did almost nothing original until maybe 500 years ago. Amerindians did more with their resources and isolation than europeans with their easy access to trade and geographic luck

It's true. Ancient Greek mathematicians (Euclid, Archimedes, the Pythagoreans, etc.) did a lot to establish the field of mathematics. This was all around 400 BC.

Math was completely dead in Europe for almost 2000 years until the time of Newton, Fermat, Euler, etc..

Sure, you can find mathematicians in this era, but none of their contributions are in the ballpark of what the Greeks or Fermat-era mathematicians did.
