Ebook: Remarkable Mathematicians: From Euler to Von Neumann

This book profiles 60 important mathematicians whose combined stories represent an outline of the way in which mathematics developed from 1700 to 1910. The biographies, which average 7 pages in length, are arranged chronologically and emphasize the life stories of the characters rather than the details of their achievements. The book keeps technical detail to a minimum, and will appeal to general readers interested in mathematics and history. The book contains several black and white portraits, and does not have an index.
