"This is a great book to introduce some of history's fascinating and lesser-known mathematicians. I read it primarily for some background on Euler, but also found interesting information about Newton, Liebniz and others."
"A fascinating(and often humorous) look at the history of mathematics and the personalities involved in it's development. It's written to the non-mathematician, so don't let the subject matter dissuade you from reading it. Great book."
