The volume contains a comprehensive and problem-oriented
presentation of ancient Greek mathematics from Thales to Proklos
Diadochos. Exemplarily, a cross-section of Greek mathematics is
offered, whereby also such works of scientists are appreciated in
detail, of which no German translation is available. Numerous
illustrations and the inclusion of the cultural, political and
literary environment provide a great spectrum of the history of
mathematical science and a real treasure trove for those seeking
biographical and contemporary background knowledge or suggestions
for lessons or lectures. The presentation is up-to-date and
realizes tendencies of recent historiography. In the new edition,
the central chapters on Plato, Aristotle and Alexandria have been
updated. The explanations of Greek calculus, mathematical geography
and mathematics of the early Middle Ages have been expanded and
show new points of view. A completely new addition is a unique
illustrated account of Roman mathematics. Also newly included are
several color illustrations that successfully illustrate the book's
subject matter. With more than 280 images, this volume represents a
richly illustrated history book on ancient mathematics.
