I teach middle school mathematics. I purchased this book for my students to read. My hope was to broaden their understanding of the field of mathematics. The title gave me the impression of some depth into the beginnings of algebra some of the mathematicians who contributed to it yet it was lacking in any substance. Most of the book seemed devoted to the solving of math problems ~ which could be found in a textbook.
