"The book offers a panorama of the development of mathematics from the ancient Babylonians and Greeks to our days. Reading the book requires some broad mathematical education but does not demand much specialized knowledge. The part of the book that deals with the accomplishments of the Greeks is one of its strongest points. The author explains clearly the problems tackled by the ancients, places them in context, outlines the accomplishments (sometimes with concise proofs) and shortcomings of the ancients, and then compares these with our present understandings of the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
