Taming the Unknown: A History of Algebra from Antiquity to the Early Twentieth Century
Victor J. Katz
What is algebra? For some, it is an abstract language of x's and y's. For mathematics majors and professional mathematicians, it is a world of axiomatically defined constructs like groups, rings, and fields. This title considers how these two seemingly different types of algebra evolved and how they relate.
