概要
古代から数学は、土地の測量や神殿・ピラミッドなどの建造に貢献し、数学の発展は天文学、物理学といった自然科学の発展にも貢献してきました。現代でも数学は、人工知能、GPS、スマートフォン、インターネットなど多様なかたちで我々の生活を豊かにしています。
英Bloomsburyの定評ある「文化史」シリーズに入った本書は、約50名の専門家たちを結集して、古代から現代まで5000年におよぶ、包括的でグローバルな数学の文化史を示します。時代別の全6巻（古代 / 中世 / 近代初期 / 18世紀 / 19世紀 / 現代）は、各巻とも共通の章立て（1. 日常のニューメラシー/ 2. 実践と専門 / 3. 数学の発明 / 4. 数学と世界観 / 5. 世界の記述と理解 / 6. 数学と技術的な変化 / 7. 数学の表象）で、各時代の特徴を比較しながら深く学べるように工夫されています。各巻に、序文、注記、書誌、索引を含み、325点の豊富な図版も理解を助けます。
人文・自然科学全般で分野を越えて共有すべきレファレンスとして、広くおすすめいたします。
