4.0 out of 5 stars A Concise History of Mathematics, 5 Mar 2005
By dr m green (university of dundee) - See all my reviews
This book has been around for many years, but as a brief introduction to the history (and people) of mathematics, it is hard to beat. The treatment of the 16th to early 20th centuries, covering solutions of the cubic and the appearance of i (square root of -1) through to the beginnings of modern abstract mathematics, could hardly be improved on in so few pages.
