*Mathematics for the Million* by Lancelot Hogben offers a comprehensive journey through the world of mathematics, from basic arithmetic to calculus. Originally published in 1936, it's designed for those who feel intimidated by maths but wish to understand its place in modern civilisation.
Hogben presents maths as the language of size, shape, and order, demonstrating its practical applications to everyday life and cultural context. Instead of rote memorisation, the book sets maths in its historical and cultural context, revealing how it was intended to be used from the pyramids of antiquity to celestial navigation. This classic work invites readers to master and enjoy the magic of numbers.
