Krátky popis
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize 2019A
magisterial history of calculus (and the people behind it) from one
of the world's foremost mathematicians. This is the captivating
story of mathematics' greatest ever idea: calculus. Without it,
there would be no computers, no microwave ovens, no GPS, and no
space travel.But before it gave modern man almost infinite powers,
calculus was behind centuries of controversy, competition, and even
death. Taking us on a thrilling journey through three millennia,
professor Steven Strogatz charts the development of this seminal
achievement from the days of Archimedes to today's breakthroughs in
chaos theory and artificial intelligence. Filled with idiosyncratic
characters from Pythagoras to Fourier, Infinite Powers is a
compelling human drama that reveals the legacy of calculus on
nearly every aspect of modern civilisation, including science,
politics, medicine, philosophy, and much besides.
