In this second edition, after a general survey of mathematics and mathematical practice in Part 1, the primary division is by subject matter: numbers, geometry, algebra, analysis, mathematical inference. For reasons that mathematics can illustrate very well, writing the history of mathematics is a nearly impossible task.

history, or histories of mathematics as constructions which we make to explain the texts which we have, and to relate them to our own ideas. Such constructions are often controversial, and always provisional; but that is the nature of history. The original impulse to write came from David Robinson, my collaborator on the course at King’s,

This function can be extended in a natural way to be defined for all s except s = 1. The extended function is equal to zero at all negative even integers. These are called the trivial zeros. The Hypothesis: If ζ(s) = 0, and s is not a trivial zero, then a = 1/2.
