Summary

"This is a wonderful book. The content is overwhelming. Every practicing mathematician, everyone who uses mathematics, and everyone who is interested in mathematics must have a copy of their own."--Simon A. Levin, Princeton University ""The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" fills a vital need. It is the only book of its kind."--Victor J. Katz, professor emeritus, University of the District of Columbia "I think that this is a wonderful book, completely different from anything that has been written before about mathematics and mathematicians."--Endre Suli, University of Oxford ""The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" is a much needed--and will become a much used--reference work. In fact, it will stand alone as the reference work in mathematics."--John J. Watkins, Colorado College
