Quadragesimal Record, Class of '75, Princeton University (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Quadragesimal Record, Class of '75, Princeton University The melancholy Jacques tells us that All the world's a stage, and narrates the sequence of the distinguishing marks of each age. We have ex perienced most of these ages and now with wise saws and stately precedent we d'iscant on the follies of the present and the virtues of the past. I am not sure but that some of us do not every morning measure our shanks to see if the lean and shrunken pantaloons must come with our next order to the tailor.

Mathematics Across Cultures


Book Description

Mathematics Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Mathematics consists of essays dealing with the mathematical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Inca, Egyptian, and African mathematics, among others, the book includes essays on Rationality, Logic and Mathematics, and the transfer of knowledge from East to West. The essays address the connections between science and culture and relate the mathematical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of science and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.
