This volume recapitulates for the reader the steps in mathematical notation which has brought us to the system with which we are familiar. It considers algebra and its relationship with reason; how it has opened the way to new advances in computation, introducing the reader to the departure made from the decimal Base 10 to the spread of the binary Base 2, the foundation for computing.
The book then takes us through the origins and progress of the computer revolution, going back to calculating machines invented more than a hundred years ago. It concludes with a synthesis of the development of numbers technology as a function of logic, and a view to our future with technology.
Readers should note that volumes 1 and 2 now replace the original first volume in this series.
