Description
Of Men and Numbers, first published in 1963, is a fascinating look at the lives and works of history's greatest mathematicians. Beginning with the early Egyptians and Greeks such as Pythagoras, Euclid and Archimedes, author Jane Muir then describes, in non-technical terms, the discoveries and personal stories of math greats such as Descartes, Pascal, and Newton, and continues with the important work of more recent mathematicians such as Nicholas Lobatchevsky, Évariste Galois, and Georg Cantor. Illustrated throughout with line drawings and figures.
