520 $aIn writing this book, the authors̕ purpose is to explain the science of mathematics, but also to show its influences on science and history. The first part consists of biographical sketches of scientists and mathematicians (from early Greeks to the late 19th century) that had a profound influence on the field. The second part contains famous theories, postulates and ideas illustrating this influence. This nontraditional study offers both a celebration and a history of mathematics.
