General textbooks, attempting to cover three thousand or so years of mathematical history, must necessarily oversimplify almost everything, which can scarcely promote a critical approach to the subject. History of Mathematics offers deeper coverage of key select topics, providing students with material that could encourage more critical thinking. It also includes proofs of important results typically neglected in the modern history of mathematics curriculum.
Coverage includes:
Lighter material, including historically interesting (and hard to find) poems and humorous song lyrics with mathematical themes.
