Rezension zu „Dreams of Calculus “
From the reviews: "[...] this book fills a gap in the literature of mathematics education although the analysis and conclusions in it are not constraining (but very interesting!)."St.Götz, Monatshefte für Mathematik 148, Issue 3, 2006"The object of this book is to make a case for computational mathematics to be treated as a subject in its own right. ... The text is copiously illustrated with diagrams associated with the topic discussed and portraits of some of the mathematicians mentioned. ... The printing and format are pleasing and the book will be of interest to those in university departments contemplating revision of syllabi." Ll. G. Chambers, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1079, 2006
