Description

312pp VG/none First edition. Illustrated editorial hardcover with just light signs of dust on the back otherwise in excellent conditions, clean and tight, almost as new inside. “There is a certain nervousness about discussing the prominence of Jews in twentieth-century mathematics. This book does an excellent job in presenting an issue the history of mathematics which is generally recognised and acknowledged by mathematicians, but hardly ever dealt with in print. A careful and authoritative account of the lives and contributions of his subjects.” (Prof. Reuben Hersch)
