Intended for undergraduate mathematics students and teachers, How
it All Began provides an introduction to the history of various
branches of mathematics, the lives of the mathematicians, and the
challenges they faced_which helped lead them to their mathematical
discoveries. Written in a slightly more technical style than
typical histories of mathematics, this book brings the 'characters'
of mathematics to life while prompting analysis into the meaning
and practice of their mathematical discoveries. How it All Began
explores the great Greek legacy, Indian arithmetic, Integral
Calculus, the Analytic Geometry of Rene Descartes, Differential
Calculus, the Non-Commutative Algebra of Hamilton, the
arithmetization of analysis, and the beginnings of Algebra. Using a
topical organization method, How it All Began is a perfect
supplement to standard mathematics texts and classroom instruction
focused on specific subject matter.
