Description

This is a book about Mathematics but not a book of Mathematics.

It is an attempt, between the serious and facetious, of conveying the idea that a mathematical thought is the result of different experiences, geographical and social factors.

Even though it is not clear when Mathematics had started, it is evident that it had been used at an early stage of human history and by ancient Babylonians and Egyptians who have already developed a sophisticated corpus of mathematical items, which were the workhorse tools in engineering, navigation, trades and astronomy.

The book sweeps across the mathematical minds of the Greek and Arab traditions, concepts by Assyro-Babylonians, and ancient Indian Vedic culture.

The mathematical mind has modeled the evolution of societies and has been modeled by it.

It is now in the midst of a great revolution and it is not clear where it will bring us.

The current new epoch needs new mathematical tools and, above this, a new way of looking at Mathematics.

This book tells the tale of what went on and what might go on.
