The Mathematics Bible brings the subject to life in an accessible and engaging way. It unlocks the fascinating history of mathematics and documents the subject's development from the ancient Babylonian calculations to the proof of the modularity theorem. It doesn't just help you understand the core theories of mathematics, but also tells the remarkable stories - such as the suspicious death of Évariste Galois and Newton's conflict with Leibniz. Accessible, informative and fully-illustrated, this is a book that shows perfectly just how varied and fascinating mathematics is a s a subject."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 510.9 Be   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 510.9 Be pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList
