Professor Struik has achieved the
seemingly impossible task of compressing the history of
mathematics into this one work. Stressing the
continuity of ideas rather than anecdotes, the author covers
Oriental, Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Indian,
Arabian and Western mathematics from the dawn of
civilization to the start of the present century.

CONCISE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS originally
appeared in two volumes. This edition contains
both volumes. in their entirety.
Vol. I: xviii + 123 pages. Vol. II: vi + 175
pages. 47 illustrations. Bibliography. Index. 5 × 7⅜.
