Nicely written, expertly researched. - Times Literary Supplement

Ancient Mathematics provides a rich and diverse picture of mathematics in ancient Greece and Rome. With C. history of mathematics sheds its ahistoricity and gets its hands dirty. - Journal of Roman Studies

This book is engagingly written; and it is a pleasure to entrust oneself to Cuomos choices. - Aestimatio: Critical Reviews in the History of Science


The mathematics in question includes not only research ... but also what we would nowadays call 'numeracy' or 'mathematical literacy.' This allows her to look broadly at all sections of of ancient society, not just the educated classes with the leisure for scholarship. As a result, Ancient Mathematics combines mathematics and social history.
