The Mathematics of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, and Islam: A Sourcebook Hardcover - 2007
by Victor J. Katz (Editor); Contribution by Annette Imhausen; Contribution by Eleanor Robson
From the rear cover
"This is the first major sourcebook in English for the history of mathematics in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and the Middle East. It is notable for the wide variety of sources, which will challenge preconceptions everywhere, as well as for the clarity and force of the introductions to the mathematical cultures on display. The authors are leading authorities in their subjects, and the scholarship is of the highest order. This book will be an irreplaceable source for a general mathematical readership."--Jeremy J. Gray, author of The History of Mathematics: A Reader and The Hilbert Challenge
"Unique and timely, this book will enrich students' and general mathematical readers' understanding of the depth and power of non-Western mathematics for decades to come, and I will be first in line to buy it. It presents fuller portraits of the mathematical histories of these five non-Western cultures than are found in other books. One of the greatest strengths of the book is its scholarship. All of the authors are established or renowned scholars, and they have done a uniformly good job of selecting readings that give a cross-section of their subject."--Glen Van Brummelen, coeditor of Mathematics and the Historian's Craft
