Publisher's Synopsis
""A History of Mathematical Notations, Volume 1: Notations in Elementary Mathematics"" is a comprehensive study of the development and evolution of mathematical notations used in elementary mathematics. The book is written by Florian Cajori, a renowned historian of mathematics, and covers the period from ancient times to the 19th century. The book examines the origins of mathematical symbols and their use in various cultures, including Greek, Roman, Arabic, and Indian. It also explores the contributions of prominent mathematicians such as Euclid, Archimedes, and Newton to the development of mathematical notation. The book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of mathematics, history, and philosophy, as well as for anyone interested in the history of scientific thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
