Astronomers lead Understanding the historical development of modern statistical techniques is an interesting task, and Stigler's book enlightens the reader with much detail. But there is no necessary reason that Two famous examples will suffice to make the point: The invention of analytic geometry and calculus was essential to Newton's creation of classical mechanics. Boyer, A history of mathematics, 2nd ed. To understand how the digital matters, it must be connected to the virtual as a process of differentiation, which cannot be equivalent to the deterministic logical calculus that governs the flow of electricity through computer chips. I have a special interest in this kind of thing because the name of this blog, squareCircleZ, is derived from the historical attempt to construct a square with the same area as a given circle (called “squaring the circle”). In the long term, I hope to develop a widely-usable, insight-generating alternative to symbolic math. In the second part, the book explores major topics of calculus and number theory, including problem-solving techniques and real-world applications. General history of mathematics. An interesting book by Stigler recounts The History of Statistics. SM Stigler It's also worth noting one important (and historical) reason that least-squares regression is so much more commonly employed than least-absolute-errors regression (or any other regression): the calculus is easier. In any case, I googled to find out some quick-and-basic information about calculus and, of course, went to Wikipedia and read an entirely new history of the development of the fundamental ideas of calculus. Streams RED Literature and Narrative ORANGE Media and E-Literature YELLOW Biology and Medicine GREEN Evolution BLUE Environment and Ecology INDIGO Art VIOLET Culture, Theory, and History. Divided into two parts, Mathematics for the Liberal Arts first traces the history of mathematics from the ancient world to the Middle Ages, then moves on to the Renaissance and finishes with the development of modern mathematics. The most remarkable thing about the following example of Archimedes' thinking is that it pre-dates the work of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz (the 17th century mathematicians who developed differential calculus) by around 2000 years. Klein's analysis shows one process alternately dominating the other in the historical development of mathematics.
