    内容简介

    The classic book - back in print! The first half of Calculus Gems is a biographical history of mathematics from the earliest times to the late nineteenth century. The author shows how science - and mathematics in particular - is something that people do, and not merely a mass of observed data and abstract theory. He demonstrates the profound connections that join mathematics to the history of philosophy and also to the broader intellectual and social history of Western civilization. The second half contains nuggets that Simmons has collected from number theory, geometry, science, etc., which he has used in his mathematics classes, meaning that it can be used as a supplement in a Calculus course, or a History of Mathematics course. The overall aim of this book is to answer the question, 'What is mathematics for?' and with its inevitable answer, 'To delight the mind and help us understand the world.'

    作者简介

    George Simmons has the usual academic degrees (CalTech, Chicago, Yale), and taught at several colleges and universities before joining the faculty of Colorado College in 1962, where he is (was) Professor of Mathematics. He is also the author of Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis (McGraw-Hill, 1963), Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes (McGraw-Hill, 1972, 2nd edition 1991), Precalculus Mathematics Mathematics in a Nutshell (Janson Publications, 1981); Wipf & Stock, Eugene, Orego at present), Calculus with Analytic Geometry (McGraw-Hill, 1985, 2nd edition 1996), and with Steven Kranta) Differential Equations: Theory, Technique, Practice (McGraw-Hill 2006). When not working or talking or eatiing or drinking or cooking, Professor Simmons is likely to be traveling (Western and Southern Europe, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Russia, China, Southeast Asia), playing pocket billiards (pool), or reading (literature, history, biography and autobiography, science, and enough thrillers to achieve enjoyment without guilt).
