Mathematics is a fundamental human activity that can be practised and understood in a multitude of ways; indeed, mathematical ideas themselves are far from being fixed, but are adapted and changed by their passage across periods and cultures. In this Very Short Introduction, Jacqueline Stedall explores the rich historical and cultural diversity of mathematical endeavour from the distant past to the present day. Arranged thematically, to exemplify the varied contexts in which people have learned, used, and handed on mathematics, she also includes illustrative case studies drawn from a range of times and places, including early imperial China, the medieval Islamic world, and nineteenth-century Britain.

象形文字的單體復雜度阻礙瞭抽象科學的誕生
评分視角很獨特
评分一如Oxford既往的好 可能我不是數學齣身 所以無法太好的理解這個簡短 所以讀起來不如讀thermodynamic那本那麼爽
评分很有意思,有幾個點以前從來沒看見過。被Pell的方法驚艷瞭,應該這麼搞啊……不過的確有點偏算法角度瞭…而且他貌似沒有把一個數從等號這邊移到等號那邊那個操作…現在各種四則運算的符號也是不同的人發明的……這樣看來小胖友們學習數學真是太難瞭啊……參考書目的編排也挺有意思,一手資料二手資料,看上去是整理強迫癥~非常好的習慣啊!突然發現這是一位女數學傢,難怪有專門討論女數學傢比例的問題。????
评分Very attentive. // Aware: The crystal clearness of modern episteme involves reception from Euclid's systematic deductive style, excluding the "illogical" calculation that charges the Medieval. But since Non-Euclidean of the 19th-c, raised calculation again with axiomatic "guess". The critical point lies in shifts between geometry and algebra.
