Elements of Mathematics

From euclid to Gödel

von Stillwell, John   (Autor)

"The coherence of mathematics is on display in this masterful, beautifully written synthesis. With probing questions, lucid explanations, and fascinating examples and stories, John Stillwell reveals where the seemingly separate branches of math came from, how they intertwine, and why the hidden unifier is the deepest idea of all: infinity."--Steven Strogatz, Cornell University and author of The Joy of x "This is a beautifully written overview and excursion through elementary mathematics, written to appeal to nonspecialists. The book is distinguished by its breadth of scope and precise details. It will be a classic in the field."--David Bressoud, Macalester College "[A] sophisticated treatment of topics usually described as elementary."--John Allen Paulos

"[A] sophisticated treatment of topics usually described as elementary."--John Allen Paulos 

Kritik

"Stillwell is . . . One of the better current mathematical authors: he writes clearly and engagingly, and makes more of an effort than most to provide historical detail and a sense of how various mathematical ideas tie in with one another. . . . The features we have learned to expect from Stillwell (including, but not limited to, excellent writing) are present in [Elements of Mathematics] as well."--MAA Reviews
