Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. All in all, this book wasn't worth the effort of writing, and
probably isn't worth the effort of reading, unless you just read the bios which would bring this book down from pages to or so; altogether more
reasonable. I would have expected to understand them because what they discovered are relatively simple things that I mostly learned A giant
book with a lot to explore, but not very easy to understand. Jun 19, Nativeabuse rated it it was ok. Their incredible labor, however, produced the
origins of group theory. If our Universe is infinite then an infinite number of exact copies of you are, at this very moment, reading an identical
sentence on an identical planet somewhere else in the Universe. With that being said, this book is basically a compilation of the most prominent
works by the most prominent mathematicians. I only understood half of the original texts. Stephen Hawking continues to combine family life he has
three children and one grandchild , and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel and public lectures.

the "masterpieces" of mathematics, 25 landmarks spanning 2, years and representing the work of 15 mathematicians, including Augustin Cauchy,
Bernard Riemann, and Alan Turing. What bothered me most about this book, is that the size of the fonts were continually changing - tiny font to
medium, to large, to micro. These geometric arguments are communicated with the aid of hundreds of diagrams of a standard seldom encountered
in mathematical works. Hawking's introductions are very interesting, and made me want to learn more about the history of math. Hawking notes
that the assumptions of Euclidian space -- straight, infinite lines that take up no space, and the like -- were treated for hundreds of years as literally
true in the Aristotelian physics of the west. Jan 11, RW Erskine rated it really liked it. Can there actually be infinities? Renowned astrophysicist

read. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Anyone interested in math or the history of math. Mathematics is an art, and as such affords the
pleasures which all the arts afford. It also helps them understand the progression of mathematical thought, and the very foundations of our present-
day technologies. Open Preview See a Problem? None of these types seem to believe in diagrams. Now William Dunham gives them the attention
they deserve. He also offers a breathtakingly new theory of language developmentthat language evolved in two stages, and its main purpose
was not communicationto show that the ability to think mathematically arose out of the same symbol-manipulating ability that was so crucial to
the emergence of true language. The post-Einstein understanding of space as curved and the universe as limited just happens to accord with the
Greeks' view. This is one book I will savour for the rest of my life. Stephen Hawking is famous for both his expertise in the field of modern physics,
and for popularizing the most recent discoveries for the lay audience. The Pythagoreans had a philosophy wherein numbers, and relations Tried to
read this and threw in the towel. It's not a book you're likely to read front-to-back in order, nor necessarily even be able to follow all of the
copious amount of equations presented without a very solid math background. This book contains well written and fascinating short biographies of
the greatest mathematicians throughout human history. Since I'm writing a novel with a math genius as the protagonist, I find this the singularly most
valuable reference in my library. A new approach to a classical topic, this work will be of interest to students in mathematics, physics, and
engineering, as well as to professionals in these fields. I'd advise that you read the book front to back as to gain a solid foundation in the more
There certainly is mention of trigonometry in this book. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead. Began to
understand that mathematicians are even crazier than I had assumed. He could very well have made the book readable, considering half of the
topics are below 6th grade algebra. For thousands of years mathematicians solved progressively more difficult algebraic equations, until they
encountered the quintic equation, which resisted solution for three centuries. Where did it come from and what is it telling us about our Universe? If
you don't think math history can be interesting, I dare you to read the first page and a half. Aug 28, Manmohan Dash rated it really liked it. Sep 01,
Jenny Prince rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: It's hard to see what Hawking intended with this book; the works are too inaccessible
because of their great age for the earlier ones or the advanced mathematics background required for many of the later ones to be very enjoyable,
and while they do add some historical perspective, spending a few dozen pages summarising them would probably have been more productive
than spending a few hundred including translated fragments of them. It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in by Isaac Newton.

God Created the Integers

The subject was the mystery of prime numbers. 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. I'd advise that you read the book front to back as to gain a solid foundation in the more There

books; sit down with a pencil and paper and get through them all. Many of the players who took part in this story are here brought to life. The
 Infinite Book is a thoroughly entertaining and completely accessible account of the biggest subject of them allinfinity. Just how calculus makes
these things possible and in doing so finds a correspondence between real numbers and the real world is the subject of this dazzling book by a
writer of extraordinary clarity and stylistic brio. The Pythagoreans had a philosophy wherein numbers, and relations Tried to read this and threw in
the towel. Every practicing mathematician, everyone who uses mathematics, and everyone who is interested in mathematics must have a copy of
their own. Want to Read saving. Stephen Hawking is famous for both his expertise in the field of modern physics, and for popularizing the most
recent discoveries for the lay audience. Working independently, two great prodigies ultimately proved that the quintic cannot be solved by a simple
formula. The selection of mathematicians is somehow arbitrary and misleading about the continuous development of mathematics. These results
indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th
Century. There is one glaring flaw - whoever edited the book has made numerous errors - not only typos, but in the actual proofs and formulas
and equations themselves! He could very well have made the book readable, considering half of the topics are below 6th grade algebra. Even as
he initiates us into the mysteries of real numbers, functions, and limits, Berlinski explores the furthest implications of his subject, revealing how the
calculus reconciles the precision of numbers with the fluidity of the changing universe. In fact, it will stand alone as the reference work in
mathematics. But hands down, a great piece of work!!! After gaining his Ph. I admire him greatly. The present work fills this gap. Professor Kline
begins with an overview, tracing the development of mathematics to the ancient Greeks, and following its evolution through the Middle Ages and
the Renaissance to the present day. See 1 question about God Created the Integers. As a review of some of the most important mathematical
breakthroughs in history, the book has some odd inclusions I wouldn't have included Dedekind or Lebesgue, myself , some odd omissions
Pythagoras? Geared to the reader with only a modest background in mathematics, the book describes the story of e from a human as well as a
mathematical perspective. Running Press Publication Date: Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead. But
there is one other motive which is as strong as any of these the search for beauty. I'm going to use the list chosen by Hawking as a framework
to relate other math history that I read to, but it doesn't make a connected story by itself. It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in by Isaac
Newton. I only understood half of the original texts. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Hawking's introductions are very interesting, and
