Among the topics covered in this wide-ranging text are: mathematics before Euclid, Euclid's \u003ci\u003eElements, \u003c\/i\u003enon-Euclidean geometry, algebraic structure, formal axiomatics, the real numbers system, sets, logic and philosophy and more. The emphasis on axiomatic procedures provides important background for studying and applying more advanced topics, while the inclusion of the historical roots of both algebra and geometry provides essential information for prospective teachers of school mathematics.\u003cbr\u003eThe readable style and sets of challenging exercises from the popular earlier editions have been continued and extended in the present edition, making this a very welcome and useful version of a classic treatment of the foundations of mathematics. A truly satisfying book. -- Dr. Bruce E.
