"An engaging tour of vital math for a modern world.... But the way these mathematical breakthroughs have contributed to human progress is seldom appreciated. A] wonderfully accessible book."--Scientific AmericanMost people are familiar with history's great equations: Newton's Law of Gravity, for instance, or Einstein's theory of relativity.
In In Pursuit of the Unknown, celebrated mathematician Ian Stewart untangles the roots of our most important mathematical statements to show that equations have long been a driving force behind nearly every aspect of our lives.Using seventeen of our most crucial equations--including the Wave Equation that allowed engineers to measure a building's response to earthquakes, saving countless lives, and the Black-Scholes model, used by bankers to track the price of financial derivatives over time--Stewart illustrates that
