A History of Pi
Autor Peter Beckman, Petr Beckmannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 1976
The history of pi, says the author, though a small part of the history of mathematics, is nevertheless a mirror of the history of man. Petr Beckmann holds up this mirror, giving the background of the times when pi made progress -- and also when it did not, because science was being stifled by militarism or religious fanaticism.
