Author Anne Rooney weaves together mathematical strands from every age and culture into a fascinating and entertaining narrative, which coincidentally tells the story of how mankind moved on from cave dwelling to the life of today. Great mathematical thinkers covered include Napier, Liu Hui, Aryabhata, Galileo, Newton, Russell, Einstein, Riemann, Euclid, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Charles Babbage, Montmort, Wittgenstein, and many, many more. This book will appeal to a general audience and math enthusiasts as well as to parents who wish to enthuse their children about the subject. It is beautifully illustrated throughout in full color.

De wiskunde vindt van oudsher zijn belangrijkste toepassingsgebied in de natuurkunde. Veel recenter is het gebruik van wiskundige modellen en technieken in andere wetenschappen, zoals biologie, chemie, economie, farmacie, milieuwetenschappen, planologie en sociologie. Kennis van wiskundige technieken is dus ook voor studenten en onderzoekers in deze disciplines van groot belang. Deze tekst behandelt de basis van de "calculus", het deel van de wiskunde dat gaat over functies, differentiëren en integreren. De stof wordt zo aangeboden dat de praktische bruikbaarheid zo groot mogelijk is; er wordt veel aandacht besteed aan het bestuderen van concrete voorbeelden en het maken van oefeningen. Daarnaast wordt de stof zoveel mogelijk geïllustreerd aan de hand van toepassingen, waarbij de verbinding tussen de wiskunde en de toepassing zeker zo belangrijk is als de wiskunde zelf. De eerste twee hoofdstukken van dit boek behandelen de standaardfuncties. Deze tekst is niet bedoeld als inleiding, maar meer als herhaling, en om eerder opgedane kennis te verbreden en te verdiepen. Ook geven ze ruimte om wiskundige vaardigheden verder aan te scherpen. Daarna volgen drie hoofdstukken over differentiëren, periodieke functies en integreren.

In the twenty-first century, everyone can benefit from being able to think mathematically. This is not the same as “doing math.” The latter usually involves the application of formulas, procedures, and symbolic manipulations; mathematical thinking is a powerful way of thinking about things in the world -- logically, analytically, quantitatively, and with precision. It is not a natural way of thinking, but it can be learned. Mathematicians, scientists, and engineers need to “do math,” and it takes many years of college-level education to learn all that is required. Mathematical thinking is valuable to everyone, and can be mastered in about six weeks by anyone who has completed high school mathematics. Mathematical thinking does not have to be about mathematics at all, but parts of mathematics provide the ideal target domain to learn how to think that way, and that is the approach taken by this short but valuable book. The book is written primarily for first and second year students of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at colleges and universities, and for high school students intending to study a STEM subject at university. Many students encounter difficulty going from high school math to college-level mathematics. Even if they did well at math in school, most are knocked off course for a while by the shift in emphasis, from the K-12 focus on mastering procedures to the “mathematical thinking” characteristic of much university mathematics. Though the majority survive the transition, many do not. To help them make the shift, colleges and universities often have a “transition course.” This book could serve as a textbook or a supplementary source for such a course. Because of the widespread applicability of mathematical thinking, however, the book has been kept short and written in an engaging style, to make it accessible to anyone who seeks to extend and improve their analytic thi
