Sinossi
We take numbers for granted. They are an integral part of our life. We use numbers to measure temperature, distances; ingredients for an experiment or for baking a cake; to communicate to a medical provider on how intense our pain is or the score of an important game. Numbers are everywhere....today. But where did the idea of numbers come from? Did the concept of numbers stem from a central civilization or develop simultaneously among various cultures? These are the questions the author attempts to answer. From the humble beginning of counting items to the most sophisticated mathematic equations, the author traces the development of numbers over the ages among well-known and little known ancient cultures. Book is as new and dj is not price clipped. Beautiful copy. 503 pages including Chronology, Bibliography, and acknowledgements. Jacket neatly encased in acid-free Brodart book protector.
