Description: Mathematics by Jan Gullberg, Peter Hilton A gently guided, profusely illustrated Grand Tour of the world of mathematics. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This extraordinary work takes the reader on a long and fascinating journey--from the dual invention of numbers and language, through the major realms of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, to the final destination of differential equations, with excursions into mathematical logic, set theory, topology, fractals, probability, and assorted other mathematical byways. The book is unique among popular books on mathematics in combining an engaging, easy-to-read history of the subject with a comprehensive mathematical survey text. Intended, in the authors words, "for the benefit of those who never studied the subject, those who think they have forgotten what they once learned, or those with a sincere desire for more knowledge," it links mathematics to the humanities, linguistics, the natural sciences, and technology. Author Biography Jan Gullberg (1936—1998) was a practicing general surgeon. A native of Sweden, he was well known there for his writings on various scientific and medical topics. Peter Hilton was a British mathematician, noted for his contributions to homotopy theory and for code-breaking during the Second World War.
