1.0 out of 5 stars What's It All About?, 18 Jun 2007

By	Dr. John Bromilow (Okehampton, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's difficult to work out who would benefit from this book or even who would want to read it. If you know nothing at all about the calculus - a branch of mathematics which seems almost magical - you will wonder what all the fuss is about as there is hardly any real information on the importance of this subject; if you do have a knowledge of the subject, then you will be very dissappointed as the mathematical contents is virtually nil - an appendix, at least, would have been useful. There are many interesting historical anecdotes, although they are often not related to the central subject, but many bad errors; for example James ll is described as Charles ll's son and Henry Vlll is said to have been buried in Westminster Abbey. There is a dreadfully bad picture of what is said to be the front of this building and which is actually the west transept anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting but woefully edited, 30 Mar 2007

By	alkyceltzer (Germany) - See all my reviews

In places very interesting re the clash of these two giants and I learnt a lot more details about their dispute. However, my enjoyment of the book was spoiled by the unbelievable number of typos and IMO the very poor grammatical quality of the writing. The book is crying out for editing by a competent proof-reader and literate editor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting subject, badly written., 31 Aug 2008

By	HM1963 (England) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for a college project on Leibniz. The book served its purpose of giving me information for this, but reading it was not as enjoyable as it should have been.

There are frequent spelling, grammatical and other errors, most of which are so obvious I have to wonder if this was proof read at all. The lack of any real mathematical content was disappointing and the book itself was unnecessarily long as it contained a lot of detailed history which was almost unrelated to the actual subject.

The calculus wars is an interesting subject and this book just doesn't live up to it.
