Eves, Howard Whitley,
Great moments in mathematics (after 1650) - Washington, D.C. : Mathematical Association of America, 1981. - xii, 263 : ill. ; pb 8.5x5.5 - The Dolciani Mathematical Expositions 7 .
Great Moments in Mathematics Before 1650 is the product of a series of lectures on the history of mathematics given by Howard Eves. He presents here, in chronological order, 20 "great moments in mathematics before 1650," which can be appreciated by anyone who enjoys mathematics.
These wonderfcul lectures could be used as the basis of a course on the history of mathematics, but can also serve as enrichment to any mathematics course. Included are lectures on the Pythagorean Theorem, Euclid's Elements, Archimedes (on the sphere), Diophantus, Omar Khayyam, and Fibonacci.
