The first book of a two-volume encyclopaedia which makes the vast and varied history of mathematics available in a reasonably compact format. The book offers in-depth accounts of the principal areas of activity up to the 1930s and touches on related topics, including ethnomathematics.
"This project succeeds brilliantly. Grattan-Guinness and his editorial board have taken an extraordinarily wide and diverse field and arranged for its coverage by an army of respected authors with an unanticipated coherency."--S. M. Stigler, Mathematics and Logic
