D K Publishing has provided a colourful, informative product which is quite extensive in its range: from its beginnings (Ancient and Classical Periods, 6000 BCE–500 CE); the Middle Ages (500–1500); the Renaissance 1500 Leggi tutto
Simple history of some of the most important theorems in mathematics. It fit the bill for what I feel has been missing in most of my math education so far, which is the motivation for actually developing these theories. I would recommend this to anyone interested in math as a modern infographic-esqu Leggi tutto
Despite getting degrees in engineering and analytics, I realized how much I still dont know in this subject of math. And that in itself is both saddening and exciting.
Math was always one of those things that I was supposed to be good at (ha ha, Asian) but failed to excel in due to my brain working way too fast to ever get used to the intricacies of proofs and equations. Despite this, I've always thought the theory behind different branches of math was something I Leggi tutto

And it is mercifully free of abstruse symbols making it a lot more Leggi tutto
This is a fun read if you enjoy history. It allowed me to understand how certain processes were created and the reason they needed to be created.
