Description

The Great Mathematicians is a concise biographical history of mathematics from Thales and Pythagoras in the sixth century BC to the great mathematical innovators of our own century. To many people mathematics is a forbidding subject, but Herbert Westren Trunbull has succeeded in conveying to the reader the eternally fascinating interplay of numbers, problems, and ideas that make up the science of mathematics, as well as the lives of the great men who have dedicated themselves to the most exacting of man's sciences. The Great Mathematicians is divided into eleven parts, from early beginnings, through Euclid, Archimedes, Kepler, Descartes, Pascal, and Newton, to the discoveries of the twentieth century.
