"The first "character driven" book about math theorems. Starting in Ancient Greece, Dunham introduces great mathematicians and their ideas in their cultural context up until the present day. It's a page-turner. I quickly order some other math books by the same author!"

"Very good exposition of many of the great theorems, for the layman, but at times the stories of the mathematicians could have been made a bit more exciting (as great storytellers can), but as it was, the stories fell a little flat for me."
