The History of Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction by Jacqueline Stedall
The 'Great Man' and Whig theories have, apparently, dominated the history of mathematics. [a:Jacqueline Stedall|315635|Jacqueline Stedall|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] sets out to remedy this by approaching the subject thematically rather than chronologically and drawing on traditions beyond the 'western'. A good introduction to the subject.

The History of Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction by Jacqueline Stedall
So very boring, mathematical details so very poor and confusing, and I learned nothing.
