9781330263235: The Nature of Mathematics (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book traces the development of mathematics from its practical origins to its present abstract formulations. The author shows that mathematics emerged as a way to solve problems, and was gradually abstracted into a self-contained body of knowledge. The book discusses the role of logic in mathematics, and the different ways that mathematics has been used to understand the natural world. The author argues that mathematics evolved as a tool to handle long and complex calculations efficiently. The book traces the development of mathematics from simple arithmetic to the complex methods used today, arguing that mathematics is an ongoing process that is constantly evolving. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of mathematics, making it a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in the subject.
