This book clearly explains new concepts (ways of thinking) that have spurred the development of mathematics, based on concrete real-world examples. Representative topics include the discovery of zero, the discovery of logarithms, Euclidean geometry, projective geometry, analytic geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, topology, sets, probability, and more. It summarizes the fundamental knowledge (literacy) of mathematics for everyone, regardless of whether they are in the humanities or sciences.
There is some slight yellowing of the pages due to age. Thank you for your understanding.
