Product Description
Review
This accessible, rigorous volume belongs in every serious library.
(J. McCleary Choice )
Review
In this impressive synthesis, Gray brings, in a largely nontechnical way, the technical development of mathematics from the 1880s to the 1930s into the broader historical analysis of the concept of modernity. His argument promises not only to challenge historians of mathematics but also, finally, to bring mathematics into wider discussions of cultural history.
(Karen Hunger Parshall, author of "James Joseph Sylvester: Jewish Mathematician in a Victorian World" )
