Calculus Editorial Review
In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World Illustrated Edition is a highly recommended book for anyone interested in mathematics and the history of science. The author, Professor Stewart, provides an engrossing discussion of the flow of mathematical and scientific thought throughout history and how it led to the creation of these 17 great equations. The book offers sufficient detail to understand the essence of each equation without getting too deep into mathematical formalism. Professor Stewart focuses on explaining the 'how' and 'why' of each equation and their applications across various scientific disciplines. The breadth of topics covered is impressive and up-to-date. Although there are a few typos and occasional political references, they do not detract from the overall content. As an engineer, I found this book to be a refreshing perspective on these equations, offering clarity and understanding. It highlights the effort and skill of the many scientists who contributed to these breakthroughs, rather than just focusing on a few celebrated icons. While it is a long read, it is well worth the investment for anyone seeking to broaden their knowledge of mathematics and scientific advancements.
