Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics

Phew! What a journey that was. From the Hippocrates of Chios to Georg Cantor. Dunham is a fantastic storyteller as well as a great mathematician. The book really brings out the true beauty and awe hidden in mathematics. Dunham starts by telling us about the life of the mathematician and the circumstances he lived in. This is a sure-fire way to get your readers interested. And boy does he do it well. His facts are sound and the biographies are well sourced. For the mathematics, well that is a very good aspect too! He has done brilliant work in presenting proofs in an organized and understandable way. Some have been dumbed down but I can live with that. These are not THE great theorems of math, some are more simple and elegant yet inconceivably difficult. Notwithstanding, the theorems that Dunham chose were excellent since it wasn't an easy task to find math that is common to every reader. Really the greatest book on math that I have ever read. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is bored by mathematics. Believe me, Math is truly understood can surprise you and give immense pleasure. This book has done that and I thank William Dunham for that.

Highly recommend this gem of a book for people who desire to appreciate the beauty of mathematics. Book reached me intact and in perfect condition.

This book is going to open your mind. Imagine one genius created a theorem and so many geniuses born after him are going to investigate that theorem.

Very good product item. Thank you.

A must read for a math enthusiast !!

Anyone can read and enjoy.

Superb .💜💜.......paper quality good.very easy to Read . Read and know about beautiful theorems . Easy to understand. Great .

Great start, later b comes very complicated. May be the subject is not easy. But felt the authority with which the initial results were discussed, that was missing in thr later part of the book.
