Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning (Dover Books on MaTHEMA 1.4tics) Paperback – 28 Mar. 2003

In this work of over one thousand pages the authors have attempted a broad survey of the fields of mathematics as they were in the mid twentieth century. The book is highly readable and should be accessible to advanced undergraduates in the mathematical sciences. The main branches of mathematics including algebra, analysis, geometry, differential equations, complex analysis, number theory, approximation, linear algebra, non-euclidean geometry, measure theory, topology, functional analysis and group theory are all given chapters. I would recommend this work to anyone seeking an overview of mathematics which also contains some of the meat of the subject. Very informative.

Truly one of the most fascinating books I have ever read, reading this book you learn why mathematics is, without a doubt, humanities greatest achievement. Also, the book was as described and brand new.

Great overview of most areas of modern mathematics.

In Romanian I found the old version of the book in separated 3 volumes.I've bought this English version because is printed in a new format (all 3 volumes printed in one volume) and because the quality of the printed paper is excellent. The content of the book doesn't need any other explanations, it is one of the few that covers most of the studied mathematics topics at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Wide range of topics written in a clean and simple fashion with good examples.

A complete survey of mathematics with clear explanations and examples. Highly recommended for any person interested in maths at an introductory or advanced levels.

good

Brilliant. Reads like a novel almost.
