A Short Account of the History of Mathematics
This is the classic resource on the history of math providing a deeper understanding of the subject and how it has impacted our culture, all in one essential volume. The subject-matter of this book is a historical summary of the development of mathematics, illustrated by the lives and discoveries of those to whom the progress of the science is mainly due. It may serve as an introduction to more elaborate works on the subject, but primarily it is intended to give a short and popular account of those leading facts in the history of mathematics which many who are unwilling, or have not the time, to study it systematically may yet desire to know.

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.

A History of Mathematics by Florian Cajori
Cajori's A History of Mathematics (1894) was the first popular presentation of the history of mathematics in the United States.This book covers the period from antiquity to the close of World War I, with major emphasis on advanced mathematics and, in particular, the advanced mathematics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Number Concept Its Origin and Development
Levi Leonard Conant was an American mathematician specializing in trigonometry. The title of this work might lead the reader to suppose that it is principally mathematical, but the treatment adopted by the anthropological. It is a study of the evolution of the idea of number in primitive conditions and the survivals of early forms in later stages of culture.
