Piergiorgio Odifreddi The mathematical century
the 30 greatest problems of the last 100 years
Gedrukt boek
"The twentieth century was a time of unprecedented development in mathematics, as well as in all sciences: more theorems were proved and results found in a hundred years than in all of previous history. - In The Mathematical Century, Piergiorgio Odifreddi distills this unwieldy mass of knowledge into a fascinating and authoritative overview of the subject. He concentrates on thirty highlights of pure and applied mathematics. - Each tells the story of an exciting problem, from its historical origins to its modern solution, in lively prose free of technical details. - "This book will be treasured not only by students and their teachers but also by all those who seek to make sense of the elusive macrocosm of twentieth-century mathematics."--BOOK JACKET
