What reading level is Why Beauty is Truth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the Sun, who scattered into flight The Stars before him from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heav’n and strikes The Sultán’s Turret with a Shaft of Light.
To most of us, the name of Omar Khayyám is indelibly associated with his long ironic poem, the Rubaiyat, and specifically with the elegant translation into English by Edward Fitzgerald. To historians of mathematics, however, Khayyám has a greater claim to fame. He was prominent among the Persian and Ar...ab mathematicians who took up the torch that the Greeks had dropped, and continued the development of new mathematics after scholars in Western Europe descended into the dark ages and its scholars abandoned theorem-proving for theological disputation.
Among Khayyám’s great achievements is the solution, by respectable methods of Greek geometry, of cubic equations. His techniques necessarily went beyond the straightedge and compass that tacitly limit Euclidean geometry, because these tools are simply not up to the job—a fact that the Greeks strongly suspected, but could not prove because they lacked the necessary point of view, which was not geometry but algebra.
