Book Reviews of Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics
Book Review: 'Journey through Genius' is the right title.
Summary: 5 Stars
Not being a mathematician I can only reply as a lay person. I hope William Dunham sticks to his task of transmitting the thread of how certain mathematical ideas evolved from previously unrelated sources.I will be re-reading this particularly in terms subjects such as the connection between the binomial theorem and the developmentof calculus and other explanations you do not find or cannot follow in textbooks. Long live William Dunham.
