Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series

Steinerberger, Stefan

This book offers an introduction to the nature of mathematics, its history, and some of the curious individuals who have shaped it. It explores a range of fundamental ideas that can be appreciated without prior mathematical training.
 
Highlighting the human side of mathematics and its shared lineage with philosophy, the book embraces the subject’s colorful history, incorporating original source material in the main text. Based on a course taught to non-science majors, it is intended for anyone with an interest in mathematics—including those whose last experience with algebra was less than enjoyable.
