Let's learn the system and principles of math through historical stories. Through the history of math, readers will grow mathematical thinking and naturally learn concepts by examining "why" mathematical concepts within textbooks were created and "how" the studies were conducted.
This book explains the main events of math history from ancient times to the early modern age with writing suited to the level of middle school students and visual material filled with historical realism. The book will help students, who lost interest in math from memorizing difficult formulas and boring problem solving, to realize how fun math is.
