The Historical Roots of Elementary Mathematics Summary:By Lucas N. H. Bunt, Phillip S. Jones, Jack D. Bedient
Exciting, hands-on approach to understanding fundamental underpinnings of modern arithmetic, algebra, geometry and number systems, by examining their origins in early Egyptian, Babylonian and Greek sources. Students can do division like the ancient Egyptians, solve quadratic equations like the Babylonians and more. Summary: Excellent Historical Review of the Roots of 'Earth-Measurements' Rating: 5 This book can only be appreciated by a scholar of both history and mathematics.If you want the real story of the basis of modern geometry and where it had evolved from,then this book will amaze and educate.Three cultures are responsible for producing mathematical greatness;the Greeks,the Babylonians and the Egyptians.The book is recommended for high school students for enriching geometry skills,yet can be read by eager seventh and eighth graders as well.There are three chapters dedeicated to 'Euclid',the greatest of the Greek geometricians.Yet,only two chapters on 'Pythagoras',the more famous of the two philosophical mathematicians.Each chapter has exercises and answer keys for checking.For the price,it's well worth reading to broaden your geometry knowledge and eliminate your hidden numerophobia. Summary: Using math history for teachers and studentsRating: 5 I have used this book in the past when I taught a math history course to high school students. In its paperbook form now it is a good resource book for teachers who are looking for projects or extra math history work for their students to do and study. It is easy to read and the math is easy to follow. password: gigapedia Please select one mirror to download
