The Queen of the Sciences: A History of Mathematics

The great scientist and mathematician Galileo Galilei noted that the book of nature "cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures, without which it is not humanly possible to understand a single word of it." For at least 4,000 years of recorded history, humans have engaged in the study of mathematics. Our progress in this field is a gripping narrative, a never-ending search for hidden patterns in numbers, a philosopher's quest for the ultimate meaning of mathematical relationships, a chronicle of amazing progress in practical fields like engineering and economics, and tales of astonishing scientific discoveries. An inquiring mind is all you need to embark on this supreme intellectual adventure which contains 24 lectures taught by Professor of Mathematics David M. Bressoud.
