As a youth Fibonacci was instructed in mathematics in one of these outposts; he continued his study of mathematics while traveling extensively on business and developed contacts with scientists throughout the Mediterranean world. A member of the academic court around the Emperor Frederick II, Leonardo saw clearly the advantages for both commerce and scholarship of the Hindu positional number system and the algebraic methods developed by al-Khwarizmi and other Muslim scientists..Though it is known as an introduction to the Hindu number system and the algorithms of arithmetic that children now learn in grade school, "Liber abaci" is much more: an encyclopaedia of thirteenth-century mathematics, both theoretical and practical. It develops the tools rigorously, establishing them with Euclidean geometric proofs, and then shows | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 关键词 | algebra; arithmetic; mathematics; proof | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-0079-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-40737-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4613-0079-3Series ISSN 2196-8810 Series E-ISSN 2196-8829 | issn_series | 2196-8810 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York, Inc. 2002 |
