Title: Classic on history of math and mathematical physics
Review: I bought this book because it is said that it served as inspiration for a young John Nash to start his career as a mathematician. And I was not disappointed.As a sign of the times it was written in the style is stodgy, but content, prose, and organization are excellent. It tells stories of some 4 dozen or so influential men (and a few women) of mathematics.. It is both an inspiration and a reference of interesting problems (many old ones and some current). Highly recommended for the mathematically inclined. This book can be read as biographies (ignoring many mathematical details) or with more interest the math itself.
