Mathematics. The history of ideas and discoveries. Astrina M.

The history of mathematics from ancient times to the present day: what questions scientists asked in each era, how the solutions of some problems gave rise to completely unexpected discoveries in other areas of knowledge, how the language of science changed. The book describes not so much individual facts or individuals from the history of science as the very history of the development of ideas. The authors are available and fascinatingly talk about how in the dialogue between scientists of different eras the development of mathematics took place. From the length of the circle to the number?, From Pythagorean Tricks to the Farm Theorem, from the law of worldwide gravitation to the theory of relativity, from the axiom of Euclid to the multidimensional spaces of Riman.

The book was published with the support of the Polytechnic.
