About this Item

Noted mathematician Ian Stewart leads us through the life and work of 25 pioneering mathematicians. The greats we all know are here - Fermat, Newton, Fourier, Mandelbrot, Godel - as well as some we likely don't - Hui, Noether, Galois, Cardano, al-Khwarizmi. The advance praise for this book is everywhere - on the single-spaced back cover, the extra added page upfront. An excellent read. New. The dust jacket of this edition is particularly sensitive; most copies have some marring. We recently located this perfect and pristine copy.

Shipping Terms

All books are shipped bubble-wrapped and boxed so they arrive in perfect condition. Each book shipped domestically is tracked. Shipping charges and delivery times are based on United States Postal Service estimates--the USPS says its estimates for international shipping times are based on shipping to "many major markets," so please bear that in mind if you do not live in a large city. If you order more than one item through us, the extra books will receive a 25% discount on shipping. If an order has special shipping requirements, such as if it is over-sized, we will contact the buyer with a request for extra charges before further processing.
Multi-volume book sets: When it comes to the cost of shipping, books that are multi-volume sets are usually treated as if the customer had ordered more than one item: that is, the first volume costs full price, with the extra volumes receiving a 25% discount. For example, a three-volume set will cost $10--$4 for the first volume, $3 for each of the other two volumes. The exception may be very large sets, such as encyclopedias. Those will have special requirements and we will contact the buyer about the shipping costs before processing the sale.
