This is a book about Mathematics but not a book of Mathematics. It
is an attempt, between the serious and facetious, of conveying the
idea that a mathematical thought is the result of different
experiences, geographical and social factors. Even though it is not
clear when Mathematics had started, it is evident that it had been
used at an early stage of human history and by ancient Babylonians
and Egyptians who have already developed a sophisticated corpus of
mathematical items, which were the workhorse tools in engineering,
navigation, trades and astronomy. The book sweeps across the
mathematical minds of the Greek and Arab traditions, concepts by
Assyro-Babylonians, and ancient Indian Vedic culture. The
mathematical mind has modeled the evolution of societies and has
been modeled by it. It is now in the midst of a great revolution
and it is not clear where it will bring us. The current new epoch
needs new mathematical tools and, above this, a new way of looking
at Mathematics. This book tells the tale of what went on and what
might go on.
