  • Description

    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.

    A book exposing the beauty of mathematics

    This is a lucidly written book written for non mathematicians. The history of mathematics is beautifully depicted in this book. I was so inspired by this book that I took an online course in higher mathematics and precalculus. I even sent a copy of this book to my uncle who also highly recommended this book.

    Totally worth it!!!

    I am really interested in learning maths and physics and this book was a really fun ride through all of mathematics. Not only history, but it also gives many interesting facts and theorems. Highly recommended!!!

    Excellent Last Few Chapters

    This book is worth the effort just for its last few chapters on Cantor and infinite sets. The rest of the book is excellent as well.
