It shifts the focus away from the traditional view of mathematical inquiry as a purely abstract endeavor by demonstrating the practical origins of many mathematical discoveries in scientific pursuits. The author shows how the convergence of new mathematical ideas with scientific observation and technology produced some of the most exciting and important mathematical developments of all time, such as Newton's laws of motion and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. More than just a history of mathematics, this book is also a history of ideas, shedding light on the relationship between the evolution of human knowledge and the evolving human story of the natural world.
