Now available in a new three-volume paperback edition. Morris Kline's monumental work presents the major creation in mathematics from its beginnings in Babylonia and Egypt through the first few decades of the twentieth century. Organized around the central ideas of mathematical thought, as well as the men responsible for them, this comprehensive history provides a broad panorama of the development of mathematics, displaying the unity behind the disconnected branches of the discipline today. Volume Two focuses on the developments of calculus in the eighteenth century, the rise of analysis in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, the rise of analysis in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Galois theory, and determinants and matrics.
