More than a History of Mathematics
By MURILO N. BUENO on June 5, 2000
Format: Paperback
This is the one of the best references in Mathematics History that I have found. Generaly, when we look for this kind of book we always found or a purely concept evolution text or a formal tratise. In this book I found these thinks together and, in addition, something that I never have seen before: archeological references! Lots of egyptian, roman, greek, phenician and other civilization vessels, papirus, tables, reproduced, described and explained. And not only classical mathematics! I found, for an exemple, references of pre-colombian mathematics on Central and South Americas. For me, it becomes the top reference in History of Mathematics.

A lot more interesting than I imagined!
By tominiyi2000 on January 31, 2002
Format: Paperback
It takes talent to write such an interesting book about the history (sometimes considered a boring subject) of mathematics (to some, extremely boring) and the lives of great mathematicians....Bravo!
As an engineer/developer with a reasonable math background I really enjoyed reading about guys such as Laplace, Lagrange, Euler, Newton...I also found loads of useful facts for a maths website I am working on ...

Some useful information, but it is buried in turgid prose
By Vallon on April 5, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This was required reading for a course. Frequent nineteenth century views of people in other cultures. Some useful information, but it is buried in turgid prose.
