Opis

What is mathematics, and why is it such a mystery to so many people?Mathematics is the greatest creation of human intelligence. It affects us all. We depend on it in our daily lives, and yet many of the tools of mathematics, such as geometry, algebra and trigonometry, are descended from ancient or non-Western civilizations. Introducing Mathematics traces the story of mathematics from the ancient world to modern times, describing the great discoveries and providing an accessible introduction to such topics as number-systems, geometry and algebra, the calculus, the theory of the infinite, statistical reasoning and chaos theory. It shows how the history of mathematics has seen progress and paradox go hand in hand - and how this is still happening today.

1. Introducing Anthropology, Merryl Wyn Davies
Anthropology originated as the study of ''primitive'' cultures. But the notion of ''primitive'' exposes presumptions of ''civilized'' superiority and the right of the West to speak for ''less evolved'' others. With the fall of Empire, anthropology became suspect and was torn by dissension from within. Did anthropology serve as a ''handmaiden to colonialism''? Is it a ''science'' created by racism to prove racism? Can it aid communication between cultures, or does it reinforce our differences?...
2. Introducing Chaos, Sardar Ziauddin
If a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, does it cause a tornado in Texas?Chaos theory attempts to answer such baffling questions.

It also examines the roots o...
