A History of Mathematics
$15.00 CAD
pp.xx 715, b/w illustrations, “Boyer and Merzbach distill thousands of years of mathematics into this fascinating chronicle. From the Greeks to Godel, the mathematics is brilliant; the cast of characters is distinguished; the ebb and flow of ideas is everywhere evident. And, while tracing the development of European mathematics, the authors do not overlook the contributions of Chinese, Indian, and Arabic civilizations. Without doubt, this is–and will long remain–a classic one-volume history of mathematics and mathematicians who create it.” –William Dunham Author, Journey Through Genius, The Great Theorems of Mathematics “When we read a book like A History of Mathematics, we get the picture of a mounting structure, ever taller and broader and more beautiful and magnificent–and with a foundation, moreover, that is as untainted and as functional now as it was when Thales worked out the first geometrical theorems nearly 26 centuries ago.”previous owners embossed stamp on half title page, Previous owners name on title page
