To infinity and beyond : a cultural history of the infinite / by Maor, Eli,author.(CARDINAL)757647; Stewart, Ian,1945-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)334292;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 260-267) and index."To Infinity and Beyond" explores the idea of infinity in mathematics and art. Eli Maor examines the role of infinity, as well as its cultural impact on the arts and sciences. He evokes the profound intellectual impact the infinite has exercised on the human mind -- from the "horror infiniti" of the Greeks to the works of M.C. Escher; the ornamental designs of the Muslims; and the sage Giordano Bruno, whose belief in an infinite universe led to his death at the hands of the Inquisition. But above all, "To Infinity and Beyond" describes the mathematician's fascination -- and puzzlement -- with infinity.

Numbers : a cultural history / by Kiely, Robert,1962-author.(CARDINAL)860171;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-334) and index.Numbers in Ancient Mesopotamia -- Numbers in Ancient Egypt -- Numbers in Ancient Greece -- Numbers in the Hellenistic Mediterranean -- Numbers in Traditional China -- Numbers and the Classical Maya -- Numbers in Ancient and Medieval India -- Numbers in the Medieval Arabic World -- Numbers in Medieval Europe -- Numbers in Early Modern Europe -- Numbers in 18th and 19th Century Europe -- Women in Mathematics -- Mathematics in the 20th Century."Mathematics is often referred to as a "universal language," and that is a fitting description. Many cultures have contributed to mathematics in fascinating ways, but despite its "universal" character, mathematics is also a human endeavor. It has played pivotal roles in societies at particular times; and it has influenced, and been influenced by, a wide range of ideas and institutions, from commerce to philosophy. Ancient Egyptian views of mathematics, for example, are tied closely to engineering and agriculture. Some European Renaissance views, on the other hand, relate the study of number to that of the natural world.Numbers, A Cultural History seeks to place the history of mathematics into a broad cultural context. While it treats mathematical material in detail, it also relates that material to other subject matter: science, philosophy, navigation, commerce, religion, art, and architecture. It examines how mathematical thinking grows in specific cultural settings and how it has shaped those settings in turn. It also explores the movement of ideas between cultures and the evolution of modern mathematics and the quantitative, data-driven world in which we live"--

Thinking better : the art of the shortcut in math and life / by Du Sautoy, Marcus,author.(CARDINAL)339818;
"Success isn't about hard work - it's about shortcuts. Shortcuts allow us to solve one problem quickly so that we can tackle an even bigger one. And according to Marcus du Sautoy, math is the very art of the shortcut. Thinking Better is a celebration of how math lets us do more with less. Du Sautoy explores why calculus is the greatest shortcut ever invented, whether mastery of the violin really takes ten thousand hours, and why shortcuts give us an advantage over even the most powerful AI. Delightful, illuminating, and above all practical, this book is for anyone who has wondered why you should waste time climbing the mountain when going around it is much faster."--
