Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a unified and concise exploration of undergraduate mathematics by approaching the subject through its history. Readers will discover the rich tapestry of ideas behind familiar topics from the undergraduate curriculum, such as calculus, algebra, topology, and more. Featuring historical episodes ranging from the Ancient Greeks to Fermat and Descartes, this volume offers a glimpse into the broader context in which these ideas developed, revealing unexpected connections that make this ideal for a senior capstone course. The presentation of previous versions has been refined by omitting the less mainstream topics and inserting new connecting material, allowing instructors to cover the book in a one-semester course. This condensed edition prioritizes succinctness and cohesiveness, and there is a greater emphasis on visual clarity, featuring full color images and high quality 3D models. As in previous editions, a wide array of mathematical topics are covered, from geometry to computation; however, biographical sketches have been omitted. Mathematics and Its History: A Concise Edition is an essential resource for courses or reading programs on the history of mathematics. Knowledge of basic calculus, algebra, geometry, topology, and set theory is assumed. From reviews of previous editions: “Mathematics and Its History is a joy to read. The writing is clear, concise and inviting. The style is very different from a traditional text. I found myself picking it up to read at the expense of my usual late evening thriller or detective novel.... The author has done a wonderful job of tying together the dominant themes of undergraduate mathematics.” Richard J. Wilders, MAA, on the Third Edition "The book...is presented in a lively style without unnecessary detail. It is very stimulating and will be appreciated not only by students. Much attention is paid to problems and to the development of mathematics before the end of the nineteenth century.... This book brings to the non-specialist interested in mathematics many interesting results. It can be recommended for seminars and will be enjoyed by the broad mathematical community." European Mathematical Society, on the Second Edition

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover modern solutions to ancient mathematical problems with this engaging guide, written by a mathematics enthusiast originally from South Vietnam. Author Dat Phung To provides a theory that defines the partial permutations as the compositions of the permutations nPn=n!. To help you apply it, he looks back at the ancient mathematicians who solved challenging problems. Unlike people today, the scholars who lived in the ancient world didnt have calculators and computers to help answer complicated questions. Even so, they still achieved great works, and their methods continue to hold relevance. In this textbook, youll find fourteen ancient problems along with their solutions. The problems are arranged from easiest to toughest, so you can focus on building your knowledge as you progress through the text. Fourteen Ancient Problems also explores partial permutations theory, a mathematical discovery that has many applications. It provides a specific and unique method to write down the whole expansion of nPn = n! into single permutations with n being a finite number. Take a thrilling journey throughout the ancient world, discover an important theory, and build upon your knowledge of mathematics with Fourteen Ancient Problems.
