Have read it earlier few years back on recommendation of my German colleague. Bought it last year to keep in collection and to read it again.

Learnt some really good things from it, including some very interesting p...

It had been some time since I read a book (4 years). At last I decided to give up my inertia and given my inclination towards mathematics, started with this one. Also it was about Fermat's last theorem, something which I could relate myself to and always thought of finding more about it when I was in school but never got a chance.
This book was an amazing journey through the history of mathematics. It started from Babylonians to Greeks, Pythagoras, Euler, Turing, Yukata and then to Andrew Wil...

This is the best book that I have read for a quick history of Mathematics... Very dramatic.

very interesting

all time best book.! Also the packaging was good

It was actually a random selection but came out to be the best gift for my dad Thanks Flipkart for showing true results and products

Mind blowing book. Highly recommended specially to those who are interested in Number Theory

awesome book

Very good book....A must for math lovers.
