About the Book

This edition covers the period from antiquity to the close of World War 1, with emphasis on advanced mathematics and, in particular, the advanced mathematics of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This volume presents an account of mathematics history for those who cannot devote themselves to an intensive study. Cajori has incorporated an amount of specific detail into a narrative. The index contains over 1600 names, and the reader can learn additional information about the person, such as who John Pell was and some specifics of what he did (and that the Pell equation was named erroneously after him).
