读者将会对2003年出版的这本书产生极大的兴趣，这本书将在未来几十年里为数学史做出鼓舞人心的贡献。它包含了生活在1707年至1903年的六位著名和杰出数学家的传记。每个时代都是独特的，反映了我们今天所知道的数学发展的一个阶段。书中有十章，每章都有数学家的传记，从莱昂哈德·欧拉开始，到约翰·冯·诺伊曼结束，今天的一些控制论专家会亲自认识他。简介虽短，但内容丰富且有趣。我们被告知，这篇文章不仅给出了每个人生活中的数学亮点，而且作者还设法同时涵盖了大约300年的数学发展。来自世界各地的60位顶级数学家的简短简介也被呈现出来，并按他们的出生顺序列出。
Readers will find great interest in a book published in 2003, which will serve as an inspired contribution to the history of mathematics for a great many decades. It contains the biographies of six well-known and distinguished mathematicians who lived from 1707 to 1903. Each era is distinctive and reflects the period as a stage in the development of mathematics as we know it today. There are ten chapters with each one containing the biographies of the mathematicians starting with Leonhard Euler and finishing with John von Neumann, who some of today's cyberneticians will have known personally.The profiles are short but still informative and interesting. We are told that not only does the text give mathematical highlights of each person's life but that the author has managed to cover at the same time some 300 years of the development of mathematics. Short profiles of 60 top-flight mathematicians from around the world are also presented and listed in order of their birth.
