What is Turning Points in the History of Mathematics (Compact Textbooks in Mathematics) about?

Provides a comprehensive overview of the major turning points in the history of mathematics, from Ancient Greece to the present Substantial reference lists offer suggestions for resources to learn more about the topics discussed Problems and projects are included in each chapter to extend and increase understanding of the material for students Ideal resource for students and teachers of the history of mathematics This book explores some of the major turning points in the history of mathematics, ranging from ancient Greece to the present, demonstrating the drama that has often been a part of its evolution. Studying these breakthroughs, transitions, and revolutions, their stumbling-blocks and their triumphs, can help illuminate the importance of the history of mathematics for its teaching, learning, and appreciation. Some of the turning points considered are the rise of the axiomatic method (most famously in Euclid), and the subsequent major changes in it (for example, by David Hilbert); the “wedding,” via analytic geometry, of algebra and geometry; the “taming” of the infinitely small and the infinitely large; the passages from algebra to algebras, from geometry to geometries, and f
