About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Science - History of the Universe Vol. 8: Mathematics by Francis Rolt-Wheeler. Read in English by LibriVox volunteers. Multi-volume work on science edited by Francis Rolt-Wheeler. The eighth volume is on Pure Mathematics written by L. Leland Locke and on Mathematical Applications written by Dr. Franz Bellinger. An introduction was written by Professor Cassius J. Keyser with a special section on the Foundation of Mathematics. The Pure Mathematics section discusses numbers - its conception and calculations, as well as different areas of mathematics - algebra, geometry, trigonometry. The last section goes into the different applications of mathematics. - Summary by Sienna
