THEMA Mathematics
Synopsis The Language of Mathematics is a compilation of mathematical culture, history, and references. With 54 chapters, presented as capsules of varying lengths, it narrates the origin of mathematical symbols and concepts, from characters like the square root, to the use of Arabic numerals and Latin and Greek letters in the language of algebra, as well as the emergence of the addition symbol, among many other fascinating components of the language of this discipline.
