Part of the Ponderables series
See all formats and editions

Here is the essential guide to mathematics, an authoritative reference book and timeline that explores the work of history's greatest mathematicians.

From the teasing genius of Pierre de Fermat, who said he knew the answers but rarely gave them up, to the fractal pattern discovered by Waclaw Sierpinski now used to plan the route a mailman takes, here are 100 landmark moments in this intensely rigorous discipline, seen through the eyes of the people who lived them.

Includes a removable fold-out concertina neatly housed in the back of the book.

This fold-out provides a 12-page Timeline History of Mathematics that embeds the story in historical context and shows Who Did What When at a glance.
