A History of Mathematics

The area of study known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation into the origin of discoveries in mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation into the mathematical methods and notation of the past.The reader of this book, whether a layman, a student, or a teacher of a course in the history of mathematics, will find that the level of mathematical background that is presupposed is approximately that of a college junior or senior, but the material can be perused profitably also by readers with either stronger or weaker mathematical preparation.
