, A Mathematical Tour
A Mathematical Tour introduces readers to a selection of mathematical
topics chosen for their centrality, importance, historical significance, and
intrinsic appeal and beauty. The book is written to be accessible and
interesting to readers with a good grounding in high school level
mathematics and a keen sense of intellectual curiosity. Each chapter
includes a short history of the topic, statements and discussion of important
results, illustrations, user-friendly exercises, and suggestions for further
reading. This book is intended to be read for pleasure but could also be used
for a Topics course in Mathematics or as a supplementary text in a History
of Mathematics course.
Features
contains a selection of accessible mathematical topics
exercises that elucidate, and sometimes enlarge on, the topics
suitable for readers with knowledge of high school mathematics
