About this title: Nicolas Bourbaki, whose mathematical publications began to appear in the late 1930s and continued to be published through most of the twentieth century, was a direct product as well as a major force behind an important revolution that took place in the early decades of the twentieth century that completely changed Western culture. Pure mathematics, the area of Bourbaki's work, seems on the surface to be an abstract field of human study with no direct connection with the real world.

"First Math History book I've read. I liked some of the topics and interested me in Structuralism in Literature. There were many mistakes I found as well as a few chapters that just didn't need to be there. I don't think the book had a central purpose as it seemed like a biography of a member of Bourbaki as well as Bourbaki and a study of structuralism itself for a few chapters."
"I did not know the genre of mathematical history existed before reading this book. I am not a mathematician so it was all new to me. I have since read several others that I would recommend as well. I think there are better writers out there, but for the genre Aczel is very accessible to the mainstream reader."
