What is mathematics, and why is it such a mystery to so many
people? Mathematics is the greatest creation of human intelligence.
It affects us all. We depend on it in our daily lives, and yet many
of the tools of mathematics, such as geometry, algebra and
trigonometry, are descended from ancient or non-Western
civilizations. Introducing Mathematics traces the story of
mathematics from the ancient world to modern times, describing the
great discoveries and providing an accessible introduction to such
topics as number-systems, geometry and algebra, the calculus, the
theory of the infinite, statistical reasoning and chaos theory. It
shows how the history of mathematics has seen progress and paradox
go hand in hand - and how this is still happening today.
