Kline is a first-class teacher and an able writer. . . . This is an enlarging and a brilliant book. ― Scientific AmericanDr. Morris Kline has succeeded brilliantly in explaining the nature of much that is basic in math, and how it is used in science. ― San Francisco ChronicleSince the major branches of mathematics grew and expanded in conjunction with science, the most effective way to appreciate and understand mathematics is in terms of the study of nature. Unfortunately, the relationship of mathematics to the study of nature is neglected in dry, technique-oriented textbooks, and it has remained for Professor Morris Kline to describe the simultaneous growth of mathematics and the physical sciences in this remarkable book. In a manner that reflects both erudition and enthusiasm, the author provides a stimulating account of the development of basic mathematics from arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, to calculus, differential equations, and the non-Euclidean geometries. At the same time, Dr. Kline shows how mathematics is used in optics, astronomy, motion under the law of gravitation, acoustics, electromagnetism, and other phenomena. Historical and biographical materials are also included, while mathematical notation has been kept to a minimum.
This is an excellent presentation of mathematical ideas from the time of the Greeks to the modern era. It will be of great interest to the mathematically inclined high school and college student, as well as to any reader who wants to understand ― perhaps for the first time ― the true greatness of mathematical achievements.

Classic dress at a great price
Size: Medium, Color: Black Ivory Geometric
I was shocked, in the best way when I received this dress as the material is thick and heavy. I was looking for a dress that I could take on business trips that was comfortable, stylish and didn't wrinkle. This dress checked all the boxes. It's a classic style that will never go out of style.

Runs smaller than my regular size.
Size: Large, Color: Hot Pink Leafy Floral Ditsy
Medium weight fabric and decent quality. Tight fit across bust and under arms and also waist. I am not a big busted woman although I am not so many inches different from bust to waist (it gapped at waist upon sitting. I had to exchange it for a bigger size. So my experience leads me to belive that this manufacturer sizes smaller than what I would expect from expensive clothing. For the price is a good choice if you remember to go at least one size up from your regular size.

Perfect comfy on the go or everyday wear! Preschool?
Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
Sounds silly but these Amazon essentials shirts are better than some other name brands. I bought same brand for myself. These shirts have been camping, dirty, and stains come out, they keep their shape and their color. I absolutely love them. Moms & Dads, if you want inexpensive and still decent shirts I recommend these. They come in a 3 pack, there’s no itchy tag, they are loose fitting, they don’t shrink, and the colors are true to picture.

Perfect
Fits perfectly. True to size. Good quality and lasts long. I love how long they are, it’s not too long but they have added length to the bottom a little bit which makes it nice for toddlers. Will buy again. Worth every penny. Color choices are great.
