Taming the unknown : history of algebra from antiquity to the early twentieth century by Victor J. Katz
Your reviewer has a BA in Math.
This history of algebra is not for the general reader.
One with some interest and background in math might follow the first ¼ of the book.
A BA in math might get you to ⅔, where it gets markedly abstract.
Advanced study in the field might get you through to the end.
I did not see anything wrong with the book, enjoyed the style, and read to the end in marvel.
