Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Mathematics has come a long way throughout its history. Readers are offered a peek into a world that is too often unseen; that being the painstaking development of mathematical principals that serve as the blueprint of our universe. Readers will learn about how mathematics plays an integral role in our understanding of concepts as vast as black holes to those as ordinary today as the common GPS device.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
