Krátky popis
A lively, accessible history of mathematics throughout the ages and
across the globe &,nbsp, Mathematics is fundamental to our
daily lives. Science, computing, economics—all aspects of modern
life rely on some kind of maths. But how did our ancestors think
about numbers? How did they use mathematics to explain and
understand the world around them? Where do numbers even come from?
&,nbsp, In this Little History, Snezana Lawrence traces the
fascinating history of mathematics, from the Egyptians and
Babylonians to Renaissance masters and enigma codebreakers.Like
literature, music, or philosophy, mathematics has a rich history of
breakthroughs, creativity and experimentation. And its story is a
global one. We see Chinese Mathematical Art from 200 BCE, the
invention of algebra in Baghdad’s House of Wisdom, and sangaku
geometrical theorems at Japanese shrines.Lawrence goes beyond the
familiar names of Newton and Pascal, exploring the prominent role
women have played in the history of maths, including Emmy Noether
and Maryam Mirzakhani.
