Summary
From the teasing genius of Pierre de Fermat, who said he knew the answers but rarely gave them up, to the fractal pattern discovered by Waclaw Sierpinski, here are 100 landmark moments. Behind each breakthrough, there's a story about a great thinker and the confounding puzzle that became a discovery and changed the way we see the world. Includes a removable concertina housed in the back of the book providing a 12-page Timeline History of Mathematics, as well as some classic mathematical enigmas on the reverse side.
