From artisanal workshops to academic institutions, mathematicians thrived. And, with the development of symbolic algebra and infinitesimal calculus, mathematics became one of the major tools for describing and understanding the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe six volume set of the \u003ci\u003eCultural History of Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e explores the value and impact of mathematics in human culture from antiquity to the present.
