"This impressive and ambitious volume is aimed at presenting a panorama of the history of Mathematics on a 5000 years span, across all significant mathematical cultures. This book will constitute an interesting lecture for a wide readership and it is highly recommended."--Libertas Mathematica

"A delightful collection of essays, each of which will most certainly raise more questions in the reader's mind than it answers."--CHOICE
