9780471944140: Evolution of Mathematical Concepts

Synopsis

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.
Reprint of the John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1973 edition.
