Features: This is the fourth volume in the series "A History of Mathematical Thought." It discusses major mathematical creations and developments from ancient times to the first few decades of the 20th century, aiming to introduce the core ideas. It places particular emphasis on the mainstream works that gradually emerged during the main periods of mathematical history, became prominent, and influenced subsequent mathematical activities. The book is also deeply concerned with: perspectives on mathematics itself, changes in these perspectives across different periods, and mathematicians' understanding of their own achievements.
