The Math Book

The book contains 250 one-page articles in historical order on milestones in the history of math. Each article is followed by a related full-page color image. It also contains a bibliography for further reading.

The book has consistently received good reviews^[1][2] although one review mentions a lack of coverage of Chinese accomplishments^[3] and another says "Alas, not all of the great mathematical milestones are included in this book ... Conversely, not all the chosen entries can be considered milestones in mathematics".^[4]

The book has been praised by Martin Gardner.^[5]

The book is the winner of the Neumann Prize.^[6]
