""String Figures and Other Monographs"" is a collection of essays by Walter William Rouse Ball, a mathematician and historian of science. The book contains a variety of topics, including the history of mathematics, the properties of numbers, and the art of making string figures. The first section of the book explores the history of mathematics, covering topics such as the development of algebra and the work of famous mathematicians like Euclid and Archimedes. The second section focuses on number theory, discussing topics such as prime numbers and the properties of different types of numbers. The final section of the book is dedicated to the art of making string figures, providing step-by-step instructions for creating a variety of designs. Overall, ""String Figures and Other Monographs"" is an engaging and informative collection of essays that will appeal to both mathematicians and those interested in the history of science.Additional Contributor Is Florian Cajori. Other Monographs Include Methods And Theories For The Solution Of Problems Of Geometrical Construction; Non-Euclidean Plane Geometry And Trigonometry; And A History Of The Logarithmic Slide Rule.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
