This is the next post in my serious on introductory books into the history of mathematics. In one sense the series started almost eight years ago when I wrote a short very negative put down of the book that introduced me to the history of mathematics, Eric Temple Bell’s Men of Mathematics. More recently some weeks back I wrote a very, very long two part total demolition of Kate Kitagawa & Timothy Revell, The Secret Lives of Numbers: A Global History of Mathematics & Its Unsung Trailblazers.
