Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-06 00:00:00 Sean Woods I listened to this as a Libri Vox Audio Book. It was a very good narration. As can be expected, I learned a lot of history and also more about the different branches of Mathematics and its pioneers. A book of the author's time and place, it shows how embargos can affect the spread of knowledge. Destruction of the university in Alexandria, Egypt led to scholars relocating to Byzantium (Istanbul, Turkey) The scholars in Syracuse kept knowledge to themselves The conflict between Moors and Christians kept knowledge out of Europe The first copy of Euclid's Elements that got translated into Latin accelerated study of Math in Europe The rules of the church kept knowledge within religious institutions The rules of the church prevented the use of Arabic numerals The dispute on the origin of calculus between Newton and Leibniz kept England isolated from developments in Europe The scholar Euler having worked in Prussia, France and Russia helped to spread knowledge I benefited from the time spent listening.
