Review: Wow, so much to get involved in, it's nearly overwhelming - I studied Physics at University quite a while ago, and am conversant in what might be considered quite advanced maths, but haven't used it on a day to day basis for a long time. Getting a little older the history of science and maths has become much more attractive. And this seems to the mother load daddy of all Mathematics History books. I still have huge swathes of the book to cover, and have to stop myself racing ahead to "fun" stuff I'm looking forward to. The writing style is a little dry at times even for someone with a passion for the subject, but the reward from getting through these parts to the well worked out examples help explain why most mathematics was born out of necessity to solve problems, and only recently has it blossomed into a subject in it's own curiosity. Highly recommended, but don't expect it to go easy, this is a grown up book that takes no prisoners and I have HUGE respect for that. Even though I have to Wikipedia my way through some bits. Review: A comprehensive intorduction to the History of Mathematics - An excellent book for anybody interested in the History of Mathematics. Useful both as an introduction to the subject area and a reference book. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 188,202 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 43 in History & Philosophy of Mathematics 99 in History of Mathematics 176 in Mathematics References | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 256 Reviews | ## Images ![A History of Mathematics, 3rd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714qk9Flt4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, so much to get involved in, it's nearly overwhelming *by J***E on 17 August 2018* I studied Physics at University quite a while ago, and am conversant in what might be considered quite advanced maths, but haven't used it on a day to day basis for a long time.
