Praise for Hal Hellman

Great Feuds in Mathematics

""Those who think that mathematicians are cold, mechanical proving machines will do well to read Hellman's book on conflicts in mathematics. The main characters are as excitable and touchy as the next man. But Hellman's stories also show how scientific fights bring out sharper formulations and better arguments.""
-Professor Dirk van Dalen, Philosophy Department, Utrecht University
