Beschreibung
Can one prove that 1 + 1 = 2? Which US president proved Pythagoras' theorem? How long is the coastline of Britain? These and many other questions are answered in this book on famous equations and their historical development. The equations come from a range of mathematical disciplines, and cover 4,000 years from early counting to fractal geometry.
