Mathematics: From the Birth of Numbers 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 author's words, \"for the benefit of those who never studied the subject, those who think they have forgotten what they once learned, and those with a sincere desire for more knowledge, \" it links mathematics to the humanities, linguistics, the natural sciences, and technology.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W.
