Description
Stories about the colorful lives of twelve Welsh mathematicians. For the Recorde invites readers on a journey through the lives of twelve Welsh mathematicians and the places they called home. Beginning with the sixteenth-century inventor of the equals sign, Robert Recorde, and continuing through today, Gareth Ffowc Roberts highlights an oft-overlooked technical acumen in Welsh culture, a forgotten complement to the country's more well-known legacy in poetry, music, and religion.
