A Cultural History of Mathematics presents the first comprehensive and global history of mathematics from antiquity to the present day, spanning six volumes. Each volume covers the same topics, allowing readers to study a period or follow a topic across history. The six volumes cover: Antiquity (c. 3000 BCE-500 CE); the Medieval Age (500-1400); the Early Modern Age (1450-1687); the Eighteenth Century (1687-1800); the Nineteenth Century (1800-1914); and the Modern Age (1914-present). Themes include everyday numeracy, practice and profession, inventing mathematics, mathematics and worldviews, describing and understanding the world, mathematics and technological change, and representing mathematics. The page extent for the pack is approximately 1536pp, and each volume opens with notes on contributors and an Introduction, concluding with notes, bibliography, and an index. A special introductory offer is available for a limited time, with the printed hardcover sets priced at £395 \/ $550 (full price: £440 \/ $610). The Cultural Histories Series is part of The Cultural Histories Series, and titles are available both as printed hardcover sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring a one-off purchase and tangible reference for their shelves, or as part of a fully-searchable digital library available to institutions by annual subscription or perpetual access.
