1 review

The Mathematical Association of America, 2007

Dunham and Euler together again!
Dunham's 1999 book _Euler: The Master of Us All_ is probably the best general introduction to the mathematical work of Euler available. Therefore, it's no surprise that he has edited such a great collection of articles, put together to celebrate Euler's 300th birthday in 2007. The chapters are collected from various journals and feature the work of more than thirty authors. They were ...

Unlike his previous two books, The Mathematical Universe and Journey Through Genius, which covered results by a variety of mathematicians, this book focuses on selected results that sprang from the remarkable mind of Leonard Euler, one of the most prolific and ...

Another masterpeice by William Dunham
If you enjoyed "Journey through Genius" by the same author, you will also enjoy the present volume. It requires more math knowledge (at least a working knowledge of calculus), but the level is aimed at a bright high school AP student, or a college undergraduate I would recommend it for even serious mathematicians who would like to know more about how the present state of knowledge of analysis ...
