Opis

Published under the Clarendon Press imprint, this book covers the 20th Century evolution of essential ideas in mathematical analysis, a field that since the times of Newton and Leibnitz has been one of the most important and presitigious in mathematics. Each chapter features a comprehensive first part on developments during the period 1900-1950, then provides outlooks on achievements during the last part of the century. Chapters include original quotations from outstanding mathematicians and the book includes a bibliography of almost 1000 entries.

Recenzje

This is a superb history of 20th century mathematical analysis. One is taken on a tour of all the major areas with a lot of clear detail and many quotes from those who took part in the developments ... a book from which most mathematicians would find a lot to interest them.
