ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"This is a rich and challenging book that will appeal to mathematicians and should help attract a newer generation to the subject. By putting the history back into trigonometry, Maor tells the many stories of trigonometry, and shows that what is often regarded as a collection of dry techniques is really a marvelous testament to thousands of years of human ingenuity and intellectual creativity."--Keith Devlin, author of Mathematics: The Science of Patterns and Goodbye Descartes
