Agnesi to Zeno: Over 100 Vignettes from the History of Math

Agnesi to Zeno is beautifully illustrated with historical art. Its engaging vignettes introduce concepts, events, and people—notable mathematicians, educators, and others who use mathematics in their everyday lives. Vignettes also highlight the contributions of the world's many cultures to the development of mathematics. Activities encourage writing, in-depth research, and class discussion. Many activities foster the understanding that mathematics does not stand alone but influences and is influenced by other disciplines. In exercises from almost every branch of mathematics, students apply the concepts developed by Euclid, Maria Agnesi, Benjamin Banneker, and many others. References to a wealth of source material assist students in their research and encourage them to further explore the topics introduced in the vignettes. An annotated table of contents makes it easy for you to select and to present class vignettes that feature algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, calculus, applied math, and more!
