Human History as Cultural History

9 Feb 2021 – We need to reform our teaching of history so that the emphasis will be placed on the gradual growth of human culture and knowledge, a growth to which all nations and ethnic groups have contributed.

A New Freely Downloadable Book

I would like to announce the publication of a book which presents the lives and work of some of the great mathematicians of history. The book may be freely downloaded and circulated from the following link:

An Apology

I must apologize for the fact that the level of the book is uneven. Chapters 1-8, as well as Appendices A and B are suitable for students who would like to learn calculus and differential equations. However, the remainder of the book is more demanding, and is suitable for more advanced students.

The book is part of a series on cultural history. Here are links the other books in the series that have, until now, been completed:
