Volume 2 focuses on calculus, the rise of analysis in the nineteenth century, and the number theories of Dedekind and Dirichlet. The concluding volume covers the revival of projective geometry, the emergence of abstract algebra, the beginnings of topology, and the influence of Gödel on recent mathematical study.Kline, Morris is the author of 'Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times' with ISBN 9780195061369 and ISBN 0195061365.
