The Triumph of Numbers
by I B Cohen
What Cohen has chosen is a massive subject but he has only nine chapters, which are nine moments in the history of numbers. To start off with no one really had use of numbers – now in the modern world we all use numbers all the time. And this book, using a few episodes, explains the birth of statistics, the birth of graphs, of measuring.
