A History of Mathematics: Second Edition
Uta C. Merzbach, Carl B. Boyer, Isaac Asimov (Foreword)
Main subject categories: • History of mathematics • Mathematics of ancient Egypt • Mathematics of ancient Europe • Mathematics of medieval Europe • Mathematics of ancient China • Mathematics of medieval China • Mathematics of ancient India • Mathematics of medieval India
Revised by Merzbach, foreword by Asimov. 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.
