A History Of Mathematical Notations V2: Notations Mainly in Higher Mathematics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780548134092)

""A History of Mathematical Notations V2: Notations Mainly in Higher Mathematics"" is a comprehensive book written by Florian Cajori that explores the evolution of mathematical notations used in higher mathematics. This book is the second volume of the two-part series and focuses on the notations used in advanced mathematical fields such as calculus, differential equations, and algebraic geometry.The book covers the development of mathematical notations from ancient times to the present day, including the contributions of famous mathematicians such as Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler, and Carl Friedrich Gauss. It also delves into the cultural and historical context in which these notations were developed, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the evolution of mathematical thinking.The book is divided into chapters that cover specific topics such as algebraic symbols, trigonometric functions, and calculus notations. Each chapter provides a detailed analysis of the historical development of the notation, including its origins, evolution, and modern usage.Overall, ""A History of Mathematical Notations V2: Notations Mainly in Higher Mathematics"" is an essential resource for mathematicians, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of mathematical thinking. It provides a unique perspective on the development of mathematical notations and their impact on the field of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
