Product Description
Tells the story of algebra. This book opens, thirty-eight centuries ago, at the time of Abraham and Isaac. It shows how the invention of algebra was more than the beginning of a specific discipline of mathematics; it was also the birth of a new way of thinking that altered, forever, the ways in which we see and understand our world.
