　　The updated new edition of the classic and comprehensive guide

to the history of mathematics

For more than forty years, A History of Mathematics has been the

reference of choice for those looking to learn about the

fascinating history of humankind’s relationship with numbers,

shapes, and patterns. This revised edition features up-to-date

coverage of topics such as Fermat’s Last Theorem and the Poincaré

Conjecture, in addition to recent advances in areas such as finite

group theory and computer-aided proofs.

Distills thousands of years of mathematics into a single,

approachable volume

Covers mathematical discoveries, concepts, and thinkers, from

Ancient Egypt to the present

Includes up-to-date references and an extensive chronological

table of mathematical and general historical developments.

Whether you're interested in the age of Plato and Aristotle or

Poincaré and Hilbert, whether you want to know more about 　　the

Pythagorean theorem or the golden mean, A History of Mathematics is

an essential reference that will help you explore 　　the incredible

history of mathematics and the men and women who created it.

：人类从反复出现的具体情境中分离出抽象的概念，需要数千年的时间。在奠定哪怕是非常原始的数学基础的过程中，也必定遭遇了相当大的困难。

数学意识的基础：辨别数字、大小、顺序和形状。

这种对某些群组所共有的抽象属性（数）的认识，代表着像现代数学迈进一大步。

对数字的认知，最终变得足够广泛、足够清晰，这样一来人们觉得有必要以某种方式表达这种属性。

表示数字观念的单词，形成得却很缓慢。数字记号很可能要早于数字单词，因为，要标识一个数字，在木棒上划刻痕总比创立一个音调和谐的短语更容易。

语言的发展总是从具体走向抽象。

在某些神话仪式中，按照特定的顺序召唤参加者上场是必不可少的，没准，发明计算，就是为了处理这个问题。
