A Mathematical Story

From Dr. Falbo

At its core, Mathematical Milestones: Nature, Science, Business, Computers and Artificial Intelligence by Dr. Clement E. Falbo is about the story of the field of Mathematics. It covers the history and evolution of math through the years. Its interdisciplinary contributions and relationships with other disciplines, such as business, engineering, economics, and physics, are also discussed.

The book takes readers through the rudimentary use of math to its most advanced applications in contemporary times. Examples of practical applications of math are also detailed in this book.

Readers' Reaction

As a huge math enthusiast, reading Mathematical Milestones was like a field trip back in third grade that I will never forget—it was so fun! I love everything about math but never thought of exploring its history. So, discovering how math evolved over time felt like I was coming full circle with everything I learned in school. It left me in awe of how beautiful the milestones of mathematics are, and it makes me so proud that the discipline I love is a foundational tool of other fields.

Mathematical Milestones is such a gem to find for a history buff like me! Math is not a common subject to seek in history. It has always been the arts, society and culture, even politics, but I love me some peculiar study. It’s breathtaking how the breakthroughs paved the way for the math we know today. Mathematical Milestones is indeed a wonderful celebration of mathematics!

What a valuable resource! I am a math teacher, and Mathematical Milestones has been a very useful supplement in my lessons. It is no surprise that math is one of the hardest to love subjects there is, and I am one of the many teachers who find it hard to emphasize its value to my students. With Mathematical Milestones, I am able to expound on the progress and contributions of math to society, highlighting its importance and the impact it has on our lives. Thank you for this amazing book, Dr. Falbo!
