This one is not. Instead it is a lively story about one thread of mathematics-the concept of "number"- told by eight authors and organized into a historical narrative that leads the reader from ancient Egypt to the late twentieth century. It is a story that begins with some of the simplest ideas of mathematics and ends with some of the most complex. It is a story that mathematicians, both amateur and professional, ought to know. Why write about numbers? Mathematicians have always found it diffi- cult to develop broad perspective about their subject. While we each view our specialty as having roots in the past, and sometimes having connec- tions to other specialties in the present, we seldom see the panorama of mathematical development over thousands of years. Numbers attempts to give that broad perspective, from hieroglyphs to K-theory, from Dedekind cuts to nonstandard analysis. | 出版日期 | Textbook 19911st edition | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Finite; calculus; development; mathematics; story | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-1005-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-97497-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-1005-4Series ISSN 0072-5285 Series E-ISSN 2197-5612 | issn_series | 0072-5285 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1991 |
