Editorial Reviews
Review
Devlin makes the beauty of math apparent, the most esoteric of concepts sing. If more scientists wrote with Devlin’s simplicity and feeling, the world would be a much more informed place.– “Atlanta Journal-Constitution”
Devlin’s choice of material is excellent, and he is to be praised for the clarity and accuracy with which he presents it.–Martin Gardner “New York Review of Books (of the first ed.)”
Excellent…. He presents us with a series of colorful personalities and seminal ideas [and] conveys all of the power, beauty and excitement of mathematics…. Well-written, informative.– “Mathematical Association of America (of the first ed.)”
