Or, at least, Sir Thomas Heath's "A History of Greek Mathematics(in two volumes; i just finished volume 1)" is a good place to start a real technical history of mathematics. Recently, William Duham and John Stillwell, have tried to make histories of mathematics with the books stuffed with the actual mathematics; the only problem with those More generally: the idea of the Greeks that the gods used mathematical reasoning in (first one out of three, then, to explicate, one out of hundred!)

Part of the reason for this must be that people conceived of 1,0000 as a unit of large counting, as reflected in Archimedes' treatise. David Eugene Smith is considered one of the founders of the field of mathematics education. Smith was born in Cortland, New York, to Abram P. Smith, attorney and surrogate judge, and Mary Elizabeth Bronson, who taught her young son Latin and Greek. He attended Syracuse University, graduating in 1881 (Ph.
