REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION

Here is the essential guide to mathematics, an authoritative reference book and timeline that explores the work of history's greatest mathematicians. These include the teasing genius of Pierre de Fermat, who said he knew the answers but rarely gave them up, the helpful guidance of Fibonacci, whose 13th-century compendium for bookkeepers proved to be a valuable tool for the most high-minded mathematicians, and the fractal pattern discovered by Waclaw Sierpinski now used to plan the route a mailman takes. With a glimpse of the abstract landscapes of infinite numbers and multi-dimensional shapes that these incredible minds explore, we can begin to get beyond school-day sums and understand the true power of mathematics.
  • 100 milestone facts reveal the greatest mathematical breakthroughs through the eyes of the people who made them.
  • Authoritative text, historical imagery, and helpful diagrams are combined with stories and everyday examples to make the complex mathematics accessible to everyone.
  • Includes a 12-page foldout Timeline poster which stretches out to 8.5 feet (2.6 meters) long.
Mathematics is part of the bestselling 100 Ponderables series which tackles STEM subjects by partnering lively text about significant milestones with stunning illustrations. Every book includes a timeline/chart poster which puts these milestones in historical context. Perfect for smart kids and curious adults!
