Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Chi inventò l'algebra, e come fecero Newton e Leibnitz a litigare per il calcolo? W. W. Rouse Ball risponde in una storia che generazioni di studenti hanno amato: egizi e greci, studiosi arabi e calcolatori del Rinascimento, poi i moderni in una corsa. Il suo sedicesimo capitolo è di per sé una piccola vita di Newton. Se pensi che la storia della matematica sembri arida, questo libro è la cura.
