'Concepts of Modern Mathematics is a 1975 book by mathematician and science popularizer Ian Stewart about modern mathematics - an abstract, general style of mathematics championed by Nicolas Bourbaki and others.
The book arose out of an extramural class that Ian Stewart taught at Warwick University . In the 1995 Dover edition Stewart wrote that the aim of the class was:
"to explain why the underlying abstract point of view had gained currency among research mathematicians, and to examine how it opened up entirely new realms of mathematical thought".
The book is aimed at non-mathematicians. However, the level of presentation is more technical than some of Stewart's other popular books - there are frequent equations and diagrams. Topics covered include Analytic Geometry, Set Theory, Abstract Algebra, Group Theory, Topology and Probability.
