Robert Snedden explores the great mathematical breakthroughs in history in this beautiful, full-colour, hardback volume, featuring nearly 200 illustrations and diagrams. As an accomplished writer with a knack for making the most complex scientific subjects accessible, Robert explains how our knowledge of mathematics has progressed over time in response to a desire to make life easier. Initially, the first great breakthroughs were motivated by very practical problems, but as our understanding of theory advanced, a desire to solve more abstract problems has led to some phenomenal discoveries.Each chapter opens with a helpful overview and timeline of events, putting each breakthrough in perspective. From the inventions of algebra and geometry to probability and the Turing machine and the birth of the computer, Robert Snedden reveals how each fascinating breakthrough paved the way for the next.
