| Abstract | "What is it that mathematicians do? And who gets to be called a 'mathematician' and why? This book seeks to answer these questions through a series of stories ranging from the beginning of modern mathematics through to the 20th century, but not in a usual, chronological manner. The author weaves her story around major questions concerning nature of mathematics, and links mathematicians by the substance of their ideas and the historical and personal context in which they were developed."-- Provided by publisher. |
