Histoire des mathématiques
ESSALAMOU alaykoum; Comme le titre du livre l'indique, Marcel Boll expose une histoire, celle des mathématiques. Mais pas n'importe quel genre d'histoire, mais plutôt la formidable histoire de l'évolution du raisonnement mathématique de l'homme depuis "le début". Un livre passionnant que je conseille à tout le monde, matheux, mathématiciens ou qui conque.
