5.0 out of 5 stars Extensively comprehensive

This is one of the most comprehensive books on the history of math. It's an easy read, and it covers the development of math both geographically and chronologically. It's perfect for any math and science historian.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a History of Mathematics
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2000
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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot more interesting than I imagined!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2002
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 ...
