Number: From Ahmes to Cantor
Midhat Gazale
This book provides a clear exposition of the history of numbers. I wish I had read this book during my college days. I found it invaluable in understanding rational, irrational, transcendental numbers, etc. Mr. Gazale has offered an original definition of real numbers. His generalization of Euler's Theorem is novel and powerful, yet so simple. This book should be a basis for math courses at colleges and universities nationwide.
