{"product_id":"number-the-language-of-science","title":"Number: The Language of Science","description":"\"Beyond doubt the most interesting book on the evolution of mathematics which has ever fallen into my hands.\"—Albert Einstein\n\nNumber is an eloquent, accessible tour de force that reveals how the concept of number evolved from prehistoric times through the twentieth century. Renowned professor of mathematics Tobias Dantzig shows that the development of math—from the invention of counting to the discovery of infinity—is a profoundly human story that progressed by “trying and erring, by groping and stumbling.” He shows how commerce, war, and religion led to advances in math, and he recounts the stories of individuals whose breakthroughs expanded the concept of number and created the mathematics that we know today.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0452288118\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0452288118.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dantzig, Tobias|Mazur, Joseph\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
