521 ## - TARGET AUDIENCE NOTE
Target audience note Discover the captivating stories behind the greatest minds in mathematics<br/>Mathematics today is the fruit of centuries of brilliant insights by men and women whose personalities and life experiences were often as extraordinary as their mathematical achievements. This entertaining history of mathematics chronicles those achievements through 50 short biographies that bring these great thinkers to life while making their contributions understandable to the masses.<br/>Among the fascinating characters profiled are Isaac Newton (1642–1727), the founder of classical physics and infinitesimal calculus—he frequently quarrelled with fellow scientists and was obsessed with alchemy and arcane Bible interpretation; Sophie Germain (1776–1831), who studied secretly at the École Polytechnique in Paris, using the name of a previously enrolled male student—she is remembered for her work on Fermat's Last Theorem and on elasticity theory; and Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920), who came from humble origins in India and had almost no formal training, yet made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions.<br/>The unusual behavior and life circumstances of these and many other intriguing personalities make for fascinating reading and a highly enjoyable introduction to mathematics.
