It follows a chain of ideas carried across centuries - discoveries forgotten, rediscovered, and transformed - linking the work of ancient philosophers to the analytical traditions of the Enlightenment and the scientific theories of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigures such as Archimedes, Fermat, Pascal, Huygens, Euler, Gauss, Maxwell, and Heaviside appear in context, their contributions connected through evolving concepts of space, motion, and energy. The book grew out of an effort to make the ideas of mathematics and calculus intelligible to non-specialists - family, students, and anyone curious about how abstract reasoning reveals the workings of the world. Rigorously researched yet written for the general reader, it shows how abstraction became a practical language for understanding and shaping reality. Suitable for public, school, and academic library collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jared Flatow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798993053400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quasi Convex Union\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Jared Flatow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520238498047,"sku":"9798993053400","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b370bd05-c8d0-4c57-9ce9-3aafa5916ab2.jpg?v=1778741568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shoulders-of-giants-jared-flatow-9798993053400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
