4.0 out of 5 stars
Good information, hard to take in,
By student (MD, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History of Mathematics: Brief Version (Paperback)
This is an good textbook on the subject, briefly covers a lot of mathematical history from ancient mathematics around the world, as well as classical and modern Western mathematics. The drawback is skimming that much material that quickly makes it nearly impossible to sink in in a semester. A course may do well to have the students read the chapters so they are exposed to all the different ideas and people and may pursue personal interests that may develop, but focus in on more narrow areas for the target learning outcomes of the class, there really is too much mathematics to do it any of it justice by skimming it like the book does. There are problems pertaining to the mathematics discussed at the end of the chapters, requiring familiarity with proofs.
