Büyük Matematikçiler: Euler'den Von Neumann'a

Rate this book
Ioan James bu önemli çalışmasında, günümüzden 300 yıl geriye uzanarak altmış büyük matematikçinin biyografilerini kaleme alıyor. Kitap, matematikçilerin bilimsel başarılarının yanısıra her biri oldukça merak uyandırıcı yaşam öyküleri üzerinde de titizlikle duruyor. Kronolojik olarak düzenlenmiş biyografilerle, matematiğin yıllar içinde hangi toplumsal koşullarda geliştiğine dair çarpıcı bir tablo sunuyor. Bilimsel ve teknik ayrıntıları asgaride tutan kitap, konuya ilgi duyan bütün okurların modern gelişmeleri kolayca izlemeye davet ediyor.

Büyük Matematikçiler'de aralarında Euler, Laplace, Cauchy, Galois, Riemann, Poincaré, Hardy, Birkhoff, Kolmogorov ve Von Neumann gibi pek çok matematikçinin ilginç hayat hikayelerini okurken bir yandan da matematiğin kendi yolunda nasıl ilerlediğine ve diğer bilim dallarıyla ilişkisine tanık olacaksınız.

Oxford Üniversitesi matematik profesörlüğünden emekli olan Ioan James, araştırmacı matematikçi olarak seçkin bir kariyer sürdürdüğü görevine halen devam etmektedir. 1968'de Royal Society üyeliğine seçilen James, son yıllarda bilimsel disiplinlerin tarihçe ve gelişimleri ile bu disiplinleri temsil eden bilimcilerle ilgilenmektedir.

An interesting review of the lives of sixty mathematicians. Oddly, there is not a single mathematical expression in the entire book. I understand the author's focus on biography rather than mathematical content but the inclusion of some content would have added "colour" to the book.

4-8 pages on each mathematician, grouped in buckets from similar time periods. Interesting to read how the centers of excellence developed (or were destroyed). Would be great if there was a companion book that talked about the types of math problems and the related specialists/developers.

Mini-biographies of lots of mathematicians in order of birth from 1705 to 1905. I think I learned more from this than from God Created the Integers. The biographies are well organized and clearly written. They name the mathematicians' most important research achievements and say what makes them important, but don't try to explain them. They also pay attention to the mathematicians' activity in teaching and administration. The book covers enough mathematicians from a small enough time period to show up lots of connections between their lives and hold together as one story.
