History of Mathematics (a book published by the Central Compilation and Compilation Press in 2012)



Brief introduction

"History of Mathematics" was first published in 1968, and a revised edition was issued in 1991. Although both are old, they are not outdated as historical materials of mathematics. This is just like the characteristic of mathematics: only in mathematics, there is no major correction-only expansion. For example, once the Greeks developed the deductive method, they were right and always right in terms of what they did. Euclid is not complete, his work has been greatly expanded, but no correction is needed. His theorem, all theorems, are valid today.

This book condenses the development of mathematics for thousands of years into this chronicle. From the Greeks to Gödel, mathematics has always been brilliant, celebrities have appeared in large numbers, and the rise and fall of ideas are clearly visible everywhere. Moreover, although tracking the development of European mathematics, the author did not ignore the contributions of Chinese, Indian, and Arab civilizations. There is no doubt that this book is (and will always be) a classic one-volume historical work on mathematics and the mathematicians who created this subject. Both academic and readable, this book can serve as a good introduction to this topic, and it is also a good reference book.

About the author

Boyer (Carl B. Boyer, 1906~1976), an outstanding historian of mathematics, and a member of the International Academy of the History of Science. He received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 1939, and served as a professor of mathematics at Brooklyn College in 1952, and served as the vice chairman of the American Society for the History of Science from 1957 to 1958. He mainly studies the history of mathematics and science, and his main works include "History of the Conceptual Development of Calculus", "History of Analytical Geometry" and "Rainbow: From Myth to Mathematics".

[Introduction to the revisionist]

Uta C. Merzbach (1933~ ), Ph.D. in History of Mathematics and Science, Harvard University, Honorary Curator of Mathematics Library of Smithsonian Institution He has authored books such as "A Hundred Years of American Mathematics" and "The Biography of Gauss".

Recommended by famous experts

Boyer and Metzbach condensed the development of mathematics for thousands of years into this fascinating chronicle. From the Greeks to Gödel, mathematics has always been brilliant, celebrities have appeared in large numbers, and the rise and fall of ideas are clearly visible everywhere. Moreover, although tracking the development of European mathematics, the author did not ignore the contributions of Chinese, Indian, and Arab civilizations. There is no doubt that this book is (and will always be) a classic one-volume historical work on mathematics and the mathematicians who created this subject.

The author of i>)

When we read a book like "History of Mathematics", what we get is a picture of the frame structure, which is constantly higher, wider, and more beautiful. It is more magnificent and has a foundation. Besides, the structure today is as immaculate and effective as when Thales came up with the earliest geometric theorem nearly 2,600 years ago.

Excerpt from the preface of this book

This book is one of the most useful and comprehensive in the subject of mathematics One of the introductions.

It is both academic and readable. This book can serve as a good introduction to this topic. Theory, it is also a good reference book at the same time.
