description: General textbooks attempting to cover three thousand or so years of mathematical history must necessarily oversimplify just about everything the practice of which can scarcely promote a critical approach to the subject. To counter this History of Mathematics offers deeper coverage of key select topics providing students with material that could encourage more critical thinking. It also includes the proofs of important results which are typically neglected in the modern history of mathematics curriculum.
