The Incas had no exact form of mathematics, but they did have a system called quipus used to keep track of things like crops, live stock, number of soldiers, and a number of other things that could be counted. Quipus were coloured strings with knots in them. Different colours and types of knots recorded different things. Only quipus rememberers could interpret what these knots and colours meant - nowadays, no one can tell what they mean.
The writing system used by the Incas is called Quipus, also referred to as "talking knots." A quipu was colored threads made of llama or alpaca hair, or cotton. A quipu could have up to 2,000cords, and can be compared to a string mop. The quipus may have been attached to wood bases. This system helped the Incas collect and record data, tax records, census records, military organization and calendars.
