Synopsis

This established text traces the roots and evolution of several major areas of mathematics, moving from mathematics before Euclid through Euclid’s Elements and into later developments such as non-Euclidean geometry. Alongside geometry, it considers algebraic structure, formal axiomatics and set-based foundations, with a consistent emphasis on axiomatic procedures.

Problems are included throughout, supported by solution suggestions for selected questions, and the volume concludes with a bibliography. It is positioned as an undergraduate-level resource for readers studying mathematics and related scientific and engineering fields.
