Review: Knowledge of Math compacted at an affordable price ! - The book was in very good condition for a second hand book. Such a small price for such a vast subject!
Review: The Math book adds up - Really fun read with outstanding info boxes and graphics. My best hope is that people who love math and get teased about it give it to the nay sayers. Math is fascinating and relevant, and this book proves both.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did not expect...
*by A***A on April 2, 2021*

I really did not expect that I could understand and so much enjoy this book. This, because I have no formal education in mathematics. On the other hand, I have an informal self-education and, above all, a positive life-long attitude towards mathematics as the basis of science and tecnology. And, a recent experience of three excellent DK-books in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. No difficulty of understanding, but mathematics is, however, mathematics, something above the common sense of the man of the street. But it soon turned out that my education was enough and allowed me to understand everything presented in this book. Not due so much to myself, but to the tradition of the DK-Books and the authhors of this particular book, a completely fantastic experience. Not just a dry sequence of definitions and formulas, but succulent and colourful story behind every concept. When I say story it means really the history up to the person, his education, working, family and frienship background. Own chapter is devoted to all important subjects with specific references as sources before and applications after the appearance of the subject matter. Never seen that kind of presentation outside the DK-books. Nor the systematic internal linkage of all persons and subjects in the text, say at least average of three on every page making up to at least three thousand alltogether. Take or leave, in general leave, of courss. But this very linkage is an indication of the importance of the aubject. Such mames as Gauss, Newton, Kepler etc. appear tens of times as links leading to their lifework. There is, of course, the usual appendices of indexes of persons and subjects at the end of the book. Because of the thorough internal linkage the importance of these indices is reduced. In these do I find the only object for my crititicism. The contents of both these indices seems to be random and ungrounded. The persons are either completely unknown in the text or already better specified in the text, the most important ones. In the subject index I pay notice that differential and differential equation are included, but not difference and difference equations. Now I reveal the result of my private extra mathematical education: as economics professor, the latter two have been for me more important than the former. I have for fwenty years given lectures in the medium level mathematical economics, with special interes on the structure and equilibrium of econometric macromodel, that is a group of difference equations. Anyway, full, overfull five stars as a general assessment of this DK-book, agenre of its own. @@@
