The History of Mathematics in Comics

When and for what reasons did humans begin counting the objects around them? And observing the stars and compiling calendars? Why did they need fractions and the length of a circle? Who first thought of extracting the square root of two or calculating instantaneous speed? And in general, who, when, and why started to engage in mathematics?

This book fascinatingly and wittily tells the history of this science - from the creation of digits to the invention of imaginary numbers, from constructing right triangles to the curved spaces of Lobachevsky and Riemann, from observing constellations to the discoveries of Newton and Einstein. And all this in the form of funny, and sometimes incredible stories, where mathematicians from different eras and countries argue, experiment, joke, and even have picnics. From Egypt to China, from India to Greece - the history of mathematics connects continents and millennia. This book will be a wonderful addition to the school curriculum of mathematics and computer science.
