Described even today as "unsurpassed," this history of mathematical
notation stretching back to the Babylonians and Egyptians is one of
the most comprehensive written. In two impressive volumes, first
published in 1928-9 and reproduced here under one cover,
distinguished mathematician Florian Cajori shows the origin,
evolution, and dissemination of each symbol and the competition it
faced in its rise to popularity or fall into obscurity. Illustrated
with more than a hundred diagrams and figures, this "mirror of past
and present conditions in mathematics" will give students and
historians a whole new appreciation for "1 + 1 = 2." Swiss-American
author, educator, and mathematician FLORIAN CAJORI (1859-1930) was
one of the world's most distinguished mathematical historians.
Appointed to a specially created chair in the history of
mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, he also
wrote An Introduction to the Theory of Equations, A History of
Mathematical Notations, and The Chequered Career of Ferdinand
Rudolph Hassler.
