Are you thinking perhaps of Scott Aaronson's Quantum Computing since Democritus? Even if not, that's a great book, free online.

- PeterWhittaker 13y agoNo, a much older book that was much more on the history of mathematics. My undergrad was in physics and I recognized a lot of parallels between modern math and QM on the one hand and what the Greeks were doing on the other. Aaronson's book is in my pile. I love his work, but that for popular audiences and the more technical stuff. While we're here: Read Valiant's Evolvability.
