Mathematics, the abstract basis of all the sciences, is introduced
to the reader in its most functional form. Exploring the
development of mathematics historically and in the light of the
various men who contributed to its understanding, Morris Kline in a
highly specific way proceeds to show how, from a single point, man
can understand the physical, chemical, astronomical, and geographic
truths of his universe simply by employing the techniques of
mathematical investigation. A uniquely informative and compact
book, illustrated with 147 diagrams by Carl Bass, Mathematics and
The Physical World embraces every area of mathematics. Of
imperative interest to the mathematically gifted and inviting to
those for whom previously mathematics has lacked excitement.
