520 _aThis edition reprints in one volume the second edition of this title, which was published in three volumes by The MIT Press in 1969. The original edition was published in 1964, translated from the Russian. Eighteen Russian mathematicians survey the scope of math, from elementary to the advanced levels, writing to educate a lay audience those with "secondary school mathematics" who are motivated to know more. Discussion includes both the origins and the development of analytic geometry, algebra, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, curve and surface theories, prime numbers, probability, functions of a complex variable, linear algebra, non-Euclidean geometry, topology, functional analysis, and groups and other algebraic systems.
