Review title: INFINITE DESENT
Product review: I thought it was my duty to warn all those who either love math or share an interest in the subject to steer clear of this ofering.Berlinski may be a a philospher even a bit of a poet but his short book lacks any substance and yet contains so many factual inaccuracies.If you are interested in the history of math there are many fine books in print:Merzbach & Boyer "Historty of Mathemematics" is perhaps the standard work.Victor Katz's book is also excellent.I can also recomend "What is Mathemattics" By courant.Even ET Bell's "Men of mathemematics"Querky as it is .. is worth reading.Also Hogben's "Mathematics for the million" has its value.Belinski's book lacks any of the qualities of the above.Glad to say I bought it second hand so I didn't waste too much money.But now I know why a new book was languising in a second hand shop.
