Mathematics

• Written by one of the most well-known math historians. The First Edition won the Watson Davis prize of the History of Science Society in 1995 for book on history accessible to beginners.

• Chronology of major mathematicians at chapter ends gives a quick overview of important events and people.

• Problems are taken from original sources enabling readers to understand how mathematicians in various times and places solved math problems.

• Discussion questions promote group work and can be used by future teachers to design lessons for elementary/secondary level math classes.

• An annotated bibliography at each chapter end provides easy reference to sources for more information.

• Includes a phonetic pronunciation guide in an appendix.

• Up to date-uses results of very recent scholarship in the subject.

• Exercises are balanced in level of difficulty.

• Offers a more global perspective. Integrates more non-Western coverage including contributions from Chinese, Indian, and Islamic mathematics/mathematicians.
