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.

Über den Autor
Robin Wilson is Emeritus Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Open University, Emeritus Professor of Geometry at Gresham College, London, and a former Fellow of Keble College, Oxford University. A former President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics, he has written and edited over 50 books on the history of mathematics (including Lewis Carroll in Numberland, 2009) and on graph theory and combinatorics (including Combinatorics: A Very Short Introduction, OUP 2016, and Four Colours Suffice, 2003). Involved with the popularization and communication of mathematics and its history, he has been awarded the Mathematical Association of America's Lester Ford Award and Pólya Prize for his 'outstanding expository writing'.
