Synopsis:
The oldest known mathematical table was found in the ancient Sumerian city
of Shuruppag in southern Iraq. Since then, tables have been an important
feature of mathematical activity and are important precursors to modern
computing and information processing. This book contains a series of
articles summarizing the history of mathematical tables from earliest times
until the late twentieth century. It covers mathematical tables (the most
important computing aid for several hundred years until 1960s), data tables
(i.e. Census tables), professional tables (ie. Insurance tables), and
spreadsheets-the most recent tabular innovation. The book is presented in a
scholarly yet accessible way, making appropriate use of text boxes and
illustrations. Each chapter has a frontispiece featuring a table along with
a small illustration of the source where the table was first displayed. Most
chapters have sidebars telling a short "story" or history relating to the
chapter. The aim of this edited volume is to capture the history of tables
through eleven chapters written by subject specialists. The contributors
describe the various information processing techniques and artifacts whose
unifying concept is "the mathematical table".
