Review
A prominent educator offers a
unique exploration of the evolutionary
development of modern mathematics.
Rather than conducting a
survey of the history or philosophy
of mathematics, the author envisions mathematics as a
broad cultural phenomenon. His treatment examines and
illustrates how such concepts as number and length were
affected by historic and social events.
