## Description

"It makes alive the contents of the elements of mathematics."―Albert Einstein Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

Review: Wonderful - This is a great book. It's clear and direct. Covers in great, highly readable detail the entire history of mathetics. Author Hogben is a fascinating if forgotten writer, thinker and mathematician. BTW I stumbled on it reading a Nero Wolfe story where the great overweight detective picks it his bookshelf to make a point about the Hindu invention of mathematics as we know it.
Review: Math for Everyone, including poets & artists - wonderful intro! - I was delighted to find that this book is still in print. My darling Dad, a WWII vet who passed almost 25 years ago, shared this amazing book with me when I was a grade-school kid. This is a wonderful introduction to the beauty and intricacy of mathematics. Everyone who loves literature, philosophy, poetry and art, but who fears they might not understand math, should read this enlightening, inspiring book. If you enjoy using your brain, whether in art, music or science, Mathematics for the Million will give you great pleasure, insight and knowledge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old, but proven
*by A***) on September 17, 2012*

I saw this book first at one of my friends in London. Began to read, but the available time was short. I was astonished that it appeared in about twenty editions in the 1930s, but reading the book persuaded me that it is a real gem. The author introduces mathematics on primers from real life, and he shows its connections with astronomy too, and reaches quite complex subjects easily understandable. No wonder that I found a more recent edition at Amazon. I can suggest this book for people interested in mathematics, and especially for teachers of mathematics, to learn, how fascinating this subject is, and can be taught.
