He tells the stories of such figures as al-Khwārizmī, René Descartes, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Augustin-Louis Cauchy, Karl Weierstrass, Sofia Kovalevskaya, David Hilbert, and Kenneth Iverson. Topics range from numbers and variables to sets and functions, constants, and combinatorics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRojas describes the mathematical problems associated with different symbols and reveals how mathematical notation has sometimes been an accidental process. The entries are self-contained and can be read in any order, each one examining one or two symbols, their history, and the variants they may have had over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential companion for maths enthusiasts, \u003ci\u003eThe Language of Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e shows how mathematics is a living and evolving entity, forever searching for the best symbolism to express relationships between abstract concepts and to convey meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998724542700,"sku":"9780691201887","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2006013482434.jpg?v=1763228285"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/raul-rojas.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
