A Brief History of Mathematics - From Scoreboard Bones to Artificial Intelligence

Approximately 1200 years ago, the Abbasid caliph al-Mamun asked the great mathematician from Khwarezmi to prepare a handbook that would enable everyone to understand mathematics and use it both in business and daily life, in land measurement, commercial transactions and inheritance sharing. Harezmi also added a theoretical section to the book, and thus the famous book Kitabü'l Muhtasar fi'l Hisabi'l Cebr ve'l Mukabale , namely Algebra as it is known today, was published. The world learned a lot from this book.

Even though el-Mamun did not order Short History of Mathematics to Launay, the author's concern is the same as the caliph's: to introduce and make people love mathematics to the people on the street; To integrate science more into life, thus encouraging rational thought, thus increasing welfare and happiness.

With the help of this book, the reader who is interested in mathematics will learn about all stages of mathematical thought, from tallying to preparing algorithms...
