Title
A History of Mathematical Notations (Dover Books on Mathematics),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This classic study notes the first appearance of a mathematical symbol and its origin, the competition it encountered, its spread among writers in different countries, its rise to popularity, its eventual decline or ultimate survival. The author's coverage of obsolete notations and what we can learn from them is as comprehensive as those which have survived and still enjoy favor. Originally published in 1929 in a twovolume edition, this monumental work is presented here in one volume.
