{"product_id":"greek-mathematical-thought-and-the-jacob-klein-9780486272894","title":"Greek Mathematical Thought and the Origin of Algebra","description":"Important study focuses on the revival and assimilation of ancient Greek mathematics in the 13th-16th centuries, via Arabic science, and the 16th-century development of symbolic algebra. This brought about the crucial change in the concept of number that made possible modern science -- in which the symbolic form of a mathematical statement is completely inseparable from its content of physical meaning. Includes a translation of Vieta's Introduction to the Analytical Art. 1968 edition.
