General textbooks, attempting to cover three thousand or so years of mathematical history, must necessarily oversimplify just about everything, the practice of which can scarcely promote a critical approach to the subject. To counter this, History of Mathematics offers deeper coverage of key select topics, providing students with material that could encourage more critical thinking. It also includes the proofs of important results which are typically neglected in the modern history of mathematics curriculum.

The History of Mathematics: A Source-Based Approach is a comprehensive history of the development of mathematics. This, the first volume of the two-volume set, takes readers from the beginning of counting in prehistory to 1600 and the threshold of the discovery of calculus. It is notable for the extensive engagement with original—primary and secondary—source material. The coverage is worldwide, and embraces developments, including education, in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, China, India, the Islamic world and Europe. The emphasis on astronomy and its historical relationship to mathematics is new, and the presentation of every topic is informed by the most recent scholarship in the field. The two-volume set was designed as a textbook for the authors' acclaimed year-long course at the Open University. It is, in addition to being an innovative and insightful textbook, an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the history of mathematics. The authors, each among the most distinguished mathematical historians in the world, have produced over fifty books and earned scholarly and expository prizes from the major mathematical societies of the English-speaking world.

Mathematics has come a long way throughout its history. Readers are offered a peek into a world that is too often unseen; that being the painstaking development of mathematical principals that serve as the blueprint of our universe. Readers will learn about how mathematics plays an integral role in our understanding of concepts as vast as black holes to those as ordinary today as the common GPS device.

Katz's text A History of Mathematics; An Introduction was originally published in 1993; this briefer version allows time enough to address 20th-century topics before a one-semester course is over. Biographical and ethnomathematics coverage have been cut, and recent discoveries have been included. A working knowledge of one year of calculus is enough background for most of the book, although the later chapters are a bit more demanding. Katz is affiliated with the U. of the District of Columbia. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
