Synopsis
Mathematics is one of our most important tools for understanding how the world works. Though we may not see its visible evidence, it serves as the substrate of our sciences, the foundation of many social systems and processes, and the yardstick by which we measure much of our daily reality. Intro to Mathematics traces the history of mathematics from the ancient world to modern times, providing an accessible introduction to algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and other basic applications. Its combination of concise text and entertaining graphic art demystifies such esoteric topics as number systems, statistical reasoning, and chaos theory. This is an essential book for anyone interested in the wonderful and weird world of mathematics—which is, of course, the world we have created for ourselves.
