Description
| Written by Adam*Hart-Davis / Translated by Shinya Midori The History of Mathematics Pioneered with Paper and Pencil Since ancient times, mathematicians have pioneered the world of mathematics using [paper and pencil]. X?+y?=Z?, also known as the Pythagorean theorem, was not discovered by him. However, he followed his intuition and logic and [proved] that it was correct. Mathematical discoveries by Fermat, Wiles, Fibonacci, Newton, Euler, and others followed. A magnificent history of 50 great discoveries.

What is engraved on the bones of the Ishango? /Why do we count to ten? /Why is a minute 60 seconds? /How can a circle be a square? /How did fractions become Egyptian? /What is proof? /What is infinite size? Chapter 2: Problem and Solution 399 BC - 628 AD Who sought logic? /How many prime numbers are there? /What is pi? /How big is the earth? /How old is the father of algebra? /What is nothingness?
