Description
| A very popular educational series from EIDK. It traces the history of mathematicians' struggle with mathematics, and explains in an easy-to-understand way the fascination of noticing problems, the beauty of solving them, and the contributions of the field of mathematics to modern society. Beautiful, interesting, and useful! Welcome to the never-ending world of mathematics. The second volume in the long-selling series [New Textbooks for Understanding the World], which has sold over 8 million copies worldwide! How mathematicians have questioned problems related to numbers and shapes, struggled to solve them, and found beautiful answers. What role has mathematics played in our lives up to the present day? The book explains mathematics in a fascinating way, with plenty of quotes from mathematicians. Although not easy by any means, the storyline is well-told and can be enjoyed not only by those who love mathematics but also by those who are not good at it. [Recommended by Kaoru Takeuchi, supervisor of the Japanese edition]. This book is a [mathematical reading material] that anyone above junior high school age can enjoy. As the name "Big Picture Book" suggests, it covers all topics from pure mathematics to applied mathematics, from the old to the new. In the past, people solved mathematical problems with ingenuity and with little knowledge (compared to modern people). By tracing such history, one can once again enjoy the depth of mathematics. Even if people who love mathematics read this book, there are sure to be topics and episodes that they are unfamiliar with. Also, if you were not good at math in school, this book is perfect for adults to relearn, as you can acquire a sense of math just by reading this book!
