Instead it is a lively story about one thread of mathematics-the concept of "number"­ told by eight authors and organized into a historical narrative that leads the reader from ancient Egypt to the late twentieth century. It is a story that begins with some of the simplest ideas of mathematics and ends with some of the most complex. It is a story that mathematicians, both amateur and professional, ought to know. Why write about numbers? Mathematicians have always found it diffi­ cult to develop broad perspective about their subject. While we each view our specialty as having roots in the past, and sometimes having connec­ tions to other specialties in the present, we seldom see the panorama of mathematical development over thousands of years. Numbers attempts to give that broad perspective, from hieroglyphs to K-theory, from Dedekind cuts to nonstandard analysis. 410 0$aReadings in Mathematics ;$v123 606 $aNumber theory 606 $aNumber Theory 615 0$aNumber theory. 615 14$aNumber Theory. 676 $a512/.7 700 $aEbbinghaus$b Heinz-Dieter$f1939-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01068399 702 $aHermes$b Hans$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHirzebruch$b Friedrich$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aKoecher$b Max$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMainzer$b Klaus$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aNeukirch$b Jürgen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPrestel$b Alexander$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRemmert$b Reinhold$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aEwing$b John H.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962009803321 996 $aNumbers$94431818 997 $aUNINA
