This book by Valentin F. Turchin traces mathematical and scientific thought as evolution on a grand scale. Of special interest here are: Chapter 9 - Mathematics Before the Greeks; Chapter 10 - From Thales to Euclid; Chapter 11 - From Euclid to Descartes; and Chapter 12 - From Descartes to Bourbaki. This is not light reading, but it is very interesting. |
