Mathematics in Historical Context describes the world around the important mathematicians of the past, and explores the complex interaction between mathematics, mathematicians, and society. It takes the reader on a grand tour of history from the ancient Egyptians to the twentieth century to show how mathematicians and mathematics were affected by the outside world, and at the same time how the outside world was affected by mathematics and mathematicians. Part biography, part mathematics, and part history, this book provides the interested layperson the background to understand mathematics and the history of mathematics, and is suitable for supplemental reading in any history of mathematics course. 410 0$aMAA spectrum. 606 $aMathematics$xHistory 606 $aMathematics$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aMathematicians$xHistory 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory. 615 0$aMathematics$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMathematicians$xHistory. 676 $a510.9 700 $aSuzuki$b Jeff$01593463 712 02$aMathematical Association of America, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822848203321 996 $aMathematics in historical context$93913607 997 $aUNINA
