Title: No Galios?
Review: Either a solid highschool math background or a college algera course makes this book worthwhile. The author has his favorites, but he puts a real face on mathematicians who have changed history. It's a great resource book for teachers and an inspiration for those like mathematics and also the first book I've read that included the converse of the "P" Theorem. The story of the solution to cubic equations was fun. Fermat aside, the great theorems, which often seem quite simple, are a result of focused dedicated effort. The book is a keeper.
