Книга предоставляет краткий обзор истории математики в очень простой и понятной форме, а также рассматривает главные находки, которые повлияли на развитие математики как связной дисциплины. В ней подчеркиваются вклады, внесенные различными культурами мира, включая африканскую, египетскую, вавилонскую, китайскую, индийскую, исламскую и доколумбовскую математику. Книга имеет не слишком жесткий подход и идеально подходит для одного семестра курса истории математики. Она также включает раздел "Ресурсы и рекомендуемая литература" для дальнейшего изучения и была широко протестирована в классе.
This book takes viewers on a journey through time to observe the way that people living in different parts of the world during different ages experienced these concepts of patterns, figures, and representations. It shares a capsule history concerning the field of mathematics using a straightforward, easily accessible approach and then explores major highlights that contributed to mathematics becoming a recognised discipline.
It highlights the work of various maths enthusiasts from all over the world, spanning through African, Eurasian, American, Indian and Islamic communities. The authors' approach centres on making it accessible to students with minimal study of higher mathematics and is a great accompaniment to a semester-long excursion through the history of this open classroom. A final Resources and Suggested Reading chapter makes available extra reading material which is deeply rehearsed in classrooms and brings enjoyable structure to the learning process.
