“. . . Nothing less than a major contribution to the scientific culture of this world.” — The New York Times Book Review
“This is a masterful English translation of a stupendous and formidable mathematical masterpiece . . .” — Social Science
This major survey features the work of 18 outstanding Russian mathematicians encompassing 20 prime subject areas in mathematics in terms of their simple origins and their subsequent sophisticated development. Primary subjects include analytic geometry, algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, functions of a complex variable, prime numbers, and theories of probability and functions. Other topics include linear and non-Euclidean geometry, topology, functional analysis, and more—1963 edition.
  Panorama of Mathematics: This survey presents a panoramic view of mathematics, covering elementary and advanced levels and offering a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Convenient One-Volume Edition: Formerly issued as a three-volume set, this book is now available in a convenient and affordable one-volume edition, making it an ideal choice for study or reference. Section 1: Beginning with an overview and analysis of mathematics, the first division of the book progresses to an exploration of analytic geometry, algebra, and ordinary differential equations. Section 2: The second part introduces partial differential equations, along with theories of curves and surfaces, the calculus of variations, and functions of a complex variable. It further examines prime numbers, the theory of probability, approximations, and the role of computers in mathematics. Section 3: The theory of functions of a real variable opens the final section, followed by discussions of linear algebra and nonEuclidian geometry, topology, functional analysis, groups, and other algebraic systems. Illustrative Figures: Numerous illustrative figures accompany clear and coherent explanations, aiding visual learners in understanding the mathematical concepts. Suggested Reading Lists: Each chapter concludes with a suggested reading list, providing readers with additional resources to explore and expand their knowledge.
As Professor Morris Kline of New York University noted, “This unique work presents the amazing panorama of mathematics proper. It is the best answer in print to what mathematics contains both on the elementary and advanced levels.”
With its comprehensive coverage, insightful explanations, and convenient format, Mathematics: Its Contents, Method and Meanings is a valuable resource for students, professionals, and anyone interested in delving into the fascinating world of mathematics.
