Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a survey of the development of arithmetic among ancient civilizations. The author traces the subject from its origins in the Babylonia roughly 5000 years ago through to Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Islamic mathematics. This account provides context for the history of mathematics as a whole, connecting well-known discoveries to the lesser-known societies which contributed to the discipline's development. The author notes there was no uniform, singular development of arithmetic throughout this era. Instead, the subject area developed in different ways in each civilization and refined the subject based on its specific contexts and needs. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the evolution of arithmetic and how it has laid the groundwork for our understanding of mathematics today.
