Scientific American'Dr. Morris Kline Has Succeeded Brilliantly In Explaining The Nature Of Much That Is Basic In Math, And How It Is Used In Science.' San Francisco Chroniclesince The Major Branches Of Mathematics Grew And Expanded In Conjunction With Science, The Most Effective Way To Appreciate And Understand Mathematics Is In Terms Of The Study Of Nature. Unfortunately, The Relationship Of Mathematics To The Study Of Nature Is Neglected In Dry, Techniqueoriented Textbooks, And It Has Remained For Professor Morris Kline To Describe The Simultaneous Growth Of Mathematics And The Physical Sciences In This Remarkable Book. In A Manner That Reflects Both Erudition And Enthusiasm, The Author Provides A Stimulating Account Of The Development Of Basic Mathematics From Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, And Trigonometry, To Calculus, Differential Equations, And The Noneuclidean Geometries. At The Same Time, Dr. Kline Shows How Mathematics Is Used In Optics, Astronomy, Motion Under The Law Of Gravitation, Acoustics, Electromagnetism, And Other Phenomena. Historical And Biographical Materials Are Also Included, While Mathematical Notation Has Been Kept To A Minimum.This Is An Excellent Presentation Of Mathematical Ideas From The Time Of The Greeks To The Modern Era. It Will Be Of Great Interest To The Mathematically Inclined High School And College Student, As Well As To Any Reader Who Wants To Understand Perhaps For The First Time The True Greatness Of Mathematical Achievements.
