Knowledge Of Basic Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Topology, And Set Theory Is Assumed.From Reviews Of Previous Editions:Mathematics And Its History Is A Joy To Read. The Writing Is Clear, Concise And Inviting. The Style Is Very Different From A Traditional Text. I Found Myself Picking It Up To Read At The Expense Of My Usual Late Evening Thriller Or Detective Novel. The Author Has Done A Wonderful Job Of Tying Together The Dominant Themes Of Undergraduate Mathematics. Richard J. Wilders, Maa, On The Third EditionThe Book...Is Presented In A Lively Style Without Unnecessary Detail. It Is Very Stimulating And Will Be Appreciated Not Only By Students. Much Attention Is Paid To Problems And Tothe Development Of Mathematics Before The End Of The Nineteenth Century....
