Lancelot Hogben argues that mathematics is not an abstract mystery reserved for the gifted few, but a practical tool shaped by the needs of human civilisation — from ancient navigation to modern science. The book chronicles the development of mathematical thought across centuries, connecting arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus to real-world applications with clarity and wit. Extensively revised and completely re-illustrated, this edition instructs readers through a richly illustrated narrative that transforms a traditionally daunting subject into an engaging intellectual journey. It remains one of the most celebrated works of science communication ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956367012059,"sku":"2026200008669-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a47a4f3d-b352-4b41-ae7f-12b2c4d8579d.png?v=1783500342","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008669-secondhand-mathematics-for-the-million","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
