The European Mathematical Awakening The finite groups describing theAbsorbing and entertaining, these thirty two articles by distinguished educators offer a reader friendly introduction to the history of mathematics. The newly corrected and updated essays cover eight centuries of discoveries, ranging from the medieval practice of finger calculus to the pioneering work of Leonhard Euler. Fascinating topics include the geometry behind the windows of Gothic churches, the development of complex numbers, the evolution of
