Modern biographers often cleanse the lives of renowned scientists of any hint of mysticism or occultism. Such threads are sometimes regarded as relics of the superstitious past; flaws that need to be hushed up, marginalized, or reinterpreted. This book represents a minor attempt to push back against this tendency and to examine these aspects of the history of mathematics with seriousness and intellectual curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA breadth of scope covering many centuries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable for anyone interested in mathematics, history, philosophy, paranormal phenomena, psi-research, mysticism, or in any combination of the above\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn almost unique account of known histories, examined from a new vantage point\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Sasho Kalajdzievski\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
