The object of his affection  Molly Bloxam  was 17 and setting off to study science at University College London. Her father decreed that the two could correspond only if Barnes taught Molly mathematics in his letters.  Mathematics with Love presents  for the first time  the result of this curious dictat: a series of witty  tender and totally accessible introductions to calculus  trigonometry and electrostatic induction that remarkably  wooed and won the girl. Deftly narrated by Barnes and Mollys daughter Mary  Mathematics with Love is an evocative tale of a twenties courtship  a surprising insight into the early life of a World War Two hero  and a great way to learn a little mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964934189109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0333427912","price":59.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780333427910.jpg?v=1770485070","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-history-of-mathematics-a-reader","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
