Critiques
Bill Filson
A wonderful read - puts all the great names into the context of their times and influences. I found it amazing how mathematics progressed with respect to the limited knowledge of imperical evidence at the time. I thank the reader, Paul King, for such clarity of pronunciation in many languages and his expression of complex mathematical equations, which must be challenging to all listeners. Thank you.

the book is more interested in race quota than actual math history.
This is a real gem!

I was not aware of its existence! Now I have a PDF as well and I can read the correct equations. Thank you!
