Beginning with a Sumerian short story--ultimately linked to modern digital computers--the author clearly introduces concepts of binary operations; point-set topology; the nature of post-relativity geometries; optimization and decision processes; ergodic theorems; epsilon-delta arithmetization; integral equations; the beautiful \"ideals\" of Dedekind and Emmy Noether; and the importance of \"purifying\" mathematics. Organizing her material in a conceptual rather than a chronological manner, she integrates the traditional with the modern, enlivening her discussions with historical and biographical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Nature and Growth of Modern Mathematics | Edna Ernestine Kramer | Paperback | 0691023727 | Used: Good | 1785040","offer_id":67623930921112,"sku":"1785040","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61GmnKdAZVL.jpg?v=1790969789","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/nature-and-growth-of-modern-mathematics","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
