A Concise History Of Mathematics by Dirk Jan Struik
A compact, panoramic survey of mathematical development from ancient civilizations to the twentieth century that follows major discoveries, methods, and shifts in thinking; it sketches early contributions from Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Indian and Islamic scholars, the rise of algebra and analytic geometry in the Renaissance, the creation of calculus, and the nineteenth- and twentieth-century moves toward abstraction and rigor (including set theory, topology and modern analysis), while connecting advances to their historical and cultural contexts.
