In the preface to this book, the author Achyut Godbole brings up an interesting idea:
Is Mathematics a discovery, or an invention? Laws of physics and chemistry would exist even if there were no humans to measure them. But would algebraic equations and calculus exist without us?
Laws of physics seem to be the same across the universe. Would the mathematics of aliens be same like us?

This was the first book by Achyut Godbole which I read and got mesmerized. This is a history of mathematics. How human beings learnt mathematics and its journey until now. This book has stories of several mathematicians across the world. Good to read book.

The only Marathi Book based on mathematicians lives and mathematical history. It takes you from old age Aryabhatta, Euclid to the Modern Ramanujan, Gause as well as the famous Nikola Tesla. A must read book for mathematical history.

If you want to do something in field of research, this book is for you.
Pretty interesting read for youngsters, teens to get inspiration from other Mathemeticians. Faulous Language.

I love the method of historical story telling.
And no matter how many times I ask "how long we are going to boast of our past. When we will start living in present?", I still feel proud to read about our "learning, sharing" culture which gave importance to "arguments, discussions ...". Loved the book
