There is no work in English that compares with this major survey of mathematics. Twenty prime subject areas in mathematics are treated in terms of their simple origins, and their sophisticated developments, in twenty chapters by eighteen outstanding Soviet mathematicians. Each volume of the second edition has been amended to include the complete index to the set.

Review:
"The high quality of exposition, the unparalleled breadth, and the emphasis on concept rather than proof for proof's sake should do much to raise the level of mathematical literacy everywhere."
— Roger S. Pinkham, American Scientist

"This unique work presents the amazing panorama of mathematics proper. It is the best answer in print to what mathematics contains both on the elementary and advanced levels."
—Morris Kline, New York University
