Maria Ascher’s *Mathematics Elsewhere‚* identifies mathematical ideas that are present all over the world‚ and is "intended as another step toward a global and humanistic history of mathematics." (Ascher IV) This important volume clarifies how many universal mathematical concepts‚ both simple and complex‚ are used and understood by countless cultures worldwide‚ regardless of differences in geography‚ language‚ and era. By studying and widening the scope of the history and breadth of mathematical

CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND The twentieth century has been filled with the most incredible shocks and surprises: the theory of relativity‚ Communist revolutions‚ psychoanalysis‚ nuclear war‚ television‚ moon walks‚ genetic engineering‚ and so on. As astounding as any of these is the advent of the computer and its development from a mere calculating device into what seems like a "thinking machine." The birth of the computer was not wholly independent of the other events of this century. The history of

There are many different areas of knowledge‚ from natural sciences (most notably physics‚ chemistry and biology)‚ mathematics up to areas like human sciences‚ history‚ religion and arts. As a generalisation it can be said that discoveries play a bigger role in natural sciences and even in mathematics than in areas like religion or arts. Art‚ be it a painting or a piece of music or certain literature‚ is generally invented by individuals. If a piece of art

all over the world. Leonhard Euler was born on April 15‚ 1707 in Basel‚ Switzerland. Before he decide to become a mathematician‚ he at first thought he was going to be a clergyman‚ a religious priest. His parents‚ however‚ saw his potential for mathematics and sent him to study with Johann Bernoulli‚ who was a famous Swiss mathematician. After studying with Johann for a few years‚ Euler attended the University of Basel and thus earning his masters in his teens! Which is awesome‚ if you ask me. After
