Mathematics is a fundamental human activity that can be practised and understood in a multitude of ways; indeed, mathematical ideas themselves are far from being fixed, but are adapted and changed by their passage across periods and cultures. In this Very Short Introduction, Jacqueline Stedall explores the rich historical and cultural diversity of mathematical endeavour from the distant past to the present day. Arranged thematically, to exemplify the varied contexts in which people have learned, used, and handed on mathematics, she also includes illustrative case studies drawn from a range of times and places, including early imperial China, the medieval Islamic world, and nineteenth-century Britain.

视角很独特
评分突然觉得之前学的都不是数学。1）数学重要的不是“是什么”而是“功能是什么”；2)有种规则是被grow的感觉；3）几何那部分好意思，比较了sphere 和 flat. 4）estimate那一章和MIT的computational thinking很像。有意思！
评分一如Oxford既往的好 可能我不是数学出身 所以无法太好的理解这个简短 所以读起来不如读thermodynamic那本那么爽
