Description
Back in print at last, this classic work by Calvin clawson examines the remarkable co-evolution of numbers and human culture. From the early clay Beads and ropes that our ancestors used as primitive counting tools to the influence of fractals and complex number Systems on chaos theory, the mathematical traveler takes us on a journey over continents and through time to discover how Mathematics has become an integral part of our world.
