Where did math come from? Who thought up all those algebra symbols, and why? What is the story behind π π? … negative numbers? … the metric system? … quadratic equations? … sine and cosine? … logs? The 30 independent historical sketches in Math through the Ages answer these questions and many others in an informal, easygoing style that is accessible to teachers, students, and anyone who is curious about the history of mathematical ideas. Each sketch includes Questions and Projects to help you learn more about its topic and to see how the main ideas fit into the bigger picture of history. The 30 short stories are preceded by a 58-page bird's-eye overview of the entire panorama of mathematical history, a whirlwind tour of the most important people, events, and trends that shaped the mathematics we know today. “What to Read Next” and reading suggestions after each sketch provide starting points for readers who want to learn more. This book is ideal for a broad spectrum of audiences, including students in history of mathematics courses at the late high school or early college level, pre-service and in-service teachers, and anyone who just wants to know a little more about the origins of mathematics.

Mathematics Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Mathematics consists of essays dealing with the mathematical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Inca, Egyptian, and African mathematics, among others, the book includes essays on Rationality, Logic and Mathematics, and the transfer of knowledge from East to West. The essays address the connections between science and culture and relate the mathematical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of science and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.

Why am I writing a Math book? The book's focus is on how to solve math problems quickly and in your head as much as possible. Speed without sacrificing accuracy is the primary emphasis. Both can be achieved. I have always loved basic math and have enjoyed mental math since my childhood days. The good foundation has helped me greatly later in my career. I have worked with my kids on math problems and enjoy working with them. I believe I can present the tips and thought process in solving math problems intuitively. I enjoy writing books and have written two successful books, the first one on Advanced Chip design, closely related to my work, and the second one on stock investments and personal finance, another subject close to my heart. There are numerous books available, and as a writer, the challenge always is how much and what to present. I have researched it thoroughly and have very high hopes that this book on math will be for the ages and something to keep for a lifetime. My expectation is that students receive perfect math score (800) or scores close to 800. I worked with my son on his SAT math prep. I helped him in understanding various math concepts and how to speed up. I believe it helped, though I give him credit for his determination and openness to learning. He scored close to perfect (790 out of 800) on SAT math. Last but not the least, it will be a befitting tribute to my Mom, who shaped my early years (she was also my school math teacher) and built a strong foundation on math for me. I am excited that she is also a contributor to this book.

Numbers surround us. Just try to make it through a day without using any. It's impossible: telephone numbers, calendars, volume settings, shoe sizes, speed limits, weights, street numbers, microwave timers, TV channels, and the list goes on and on. The many advancements and branches of mathematics were developed through the centuries as people encountered problems and relied upon math to solve them. For instance: What timely invention was tampered with by the Caesars and almost perfected by a pope? Why did ten days vanish in September of 1752? How did Queen Victoria shorten the Sunday sermons at chapel? What important invention caused the world to be divided into time zones? What simple math problem caused the Mars Climate Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere? What common unit of measurement was originally based on the distance from the equator to the North Pole? Does water always boil at 212? Fahrenheit? What do Da Vinci's Last Supper and the Parthenon have in common? Why is a computer glitch called a "bug"? It's amazing how ten simple digits can be used in an endless number of ways to benefit man. The development of these ten digits and their many uses is the fascinating story you hold in your hands: Exploring the World of Mathematics.
