I hope it will also be a useful source of material for those who teach mathematics. It is a collection of loosely connected topics in areas of mathematics that particularly interest me, ranging over the two millennia from the work of Archimedes, who died in the year 212 Be, to the Werke of Gauss, who was born in 1777, although there are some references outside this period. In view of its title, I must emphasize that this book is certainly not pretending to be a comprehensive history of the mathematics of this period, or even a complete account of the topics discussed. However, every chapter is written with the history of its topic in mind. It is fascinating, for example, to follow how both Napier and Briggs constructed their log arithms before many of the most relevant mathematical ideas had been discovered. Do I really mean "discovered"? There is an old question, "Is mathematics created or discovered?" Sometimes it seems a shame not to use the word "cr | | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | | 关键词 | Finite; John Napier; algebra; equation; function; logarithms; mathematics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-1180-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-7035-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-1180-8Series ISSN 1613-5237 Series E-ISSN 2197-4152 | | issn_series | 1613-5237 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2000 |
