Sinopsis
Like masterpieces of art, music, and literature, great mathematical theorems are creative milestones, works of genius destined to last forever. Now William Dunham gives them the attention they deserve. Dunham places each theorem within its historical context and explores the very human and often turbulent life of the creator — from Archimedes, the absentminded theoretician whose absorption in his work often precluded eating or bathing, to Gerolamo Cardano, the sixteenth-century mathematician whose accomplishments flourished despite a bizarre array of misadventures, to the paranoid genius of modern times, Georg Cantor. He also provides step-by-step proofs for the theorems, each easily accessible to readers with no more than a knowledge of high school mathematics. A rare combination of the historical, biographical, and mathematical, Journey Through Genius is a fascinating introduction to a neglected field of human creativity.

Sobre Book & Pen
At Book&Pen, we love to buy, sell, seek out and treasure (even temporarily) old books - the books offered here were acquired at estate sales and thrift shops, some at book fairs and from antiquarian dealers, some consigned from private collections. We hope you'll find a title or two of interest and if there's a particular book you'd like to have, let us know and we'll add it to our "find/watch" list. Email us at: ddtucker@hughes.net
