Synopsis

Covering major developments from the ancient Near East through to 20th-century computer theory, this concise account surveys the evolution of key mathematical ideas and techniques. Along the way it considers the work of figures including Archimedes, Pascal, Gauss and Hilbert, placing their contributions within a broader historical narrative.

It is positioned within science, mathematics and engineering, and suits readers looking for an accessible overview rather than a specialist monograph.
