Description

Explore the historical progression of mathematics through this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines the development of classical mathematics and the connection between the mathematical advancements made in the Arab and Islamic worlds and the later contributions of figures like Descartes and Fermat. For many historians and philosophers, the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries represent a significant transition. This text investigates the shift from classical mathematics to the early modern era, a period that marked a departure from previous methods and led to the rise of algebra, geometrical algebra, and the mathematics of the continuous. By studying the relationship between Eastern and Western mathematical traditions, readers gain a better understanding of how these fields evolved and shaped the modern scientific landscape.
