Mathematics

An Illustrated History of Numbers

Ed. Tom Jackson
This illustrated history gives a brief introduction to the most famous results, problems and thinkers in mathematical history. As it progresses from ancient breakthroughs to such modern problems as perturbation theory and transcendentals, it features anecdotes about figures including the inventor of algorithms, who never went anywhere without his pet rooster, and the codebreaker who was accused of practising black magic by the king of Spain.
