History of mathematics
Hardback. Writings by early mathematicians feature language and notations that are quite different from what we're familiar with today. Sourcebooks on the history of mathematics provide some guidance, but what has been lacking is a guide tailored to the needs of readers approaching these writings for the first time. This book intends to fill this gap. Num Pages: 136 pages, 5 halftones. BIC Classification: PBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College).
