""An Introduction to the Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics"" by Howard Whitley Eves is a comprehensive guide to the basic principles and concepts of mathematics. The book covers a wide range of topics, including number theory, algebra, geometry, calculus, and logic. It is designed to provide a solid foundation for students who are just starting to study mathematics, as well as for those who want to deepen their understanding of the subject.The book begins with an introduction to the history of mathematics, tracing the development of mathematical ideas from ancient times to the present day. It then moves on to cover the basic concepts of number theory, including prime numbers, divisibility, and modular arithmetic. The book also covers algebraic concepts such as polynomials, equations, and functions, as well as the geometry of lines, angles, and circles.The second half of the book focuses on calculus, including limits, derivatives, and integrals. The book also covers the basics of logic and set theory, as well as the foundations of geometry and topology. Throughout the book, Eves emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying concepts and principles of mathematics, rather than just memorizing formulas and procedures.Overall, ""An Introduction to the Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics"" is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to develop a strong foundation in mathematics. It is written in a clear and accessible style, with numerous examples and exercises to help readers master the material. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just someone who wants to deepen your understanding of mathematics, this book is an excellent choice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

For many years, famed mathematics historian and master teacher Howard Eves collected stories and anecdotes about mathematics and mathematicians, gathering them together in six Mathematical Circles books. Thousands of teachers of mathematics have read these stories and anecdotes for their own enjoyment and used them in the classroom - to add entertainment, to introduce a human element, to inspire the student, and to forge some links of cultural history. All six of the Mathematical Circles books have been reissued as a three-volume edition. This three-volume set is a must for all who enjoy the mathematical enterprise, especially those who appreciate the human and cultural aspects of mathematics.
