The referencing throughout is sufficiently detailed to enable the reader to follow up on any points of interest, and a comprehensive index makes the book easy to navigate. This is an extremely valuable contribution to the study of the history of modern mathematics.\" \u003cb\u003e--Zentralblatt Math\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eApprox.286 pages\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
