Descrizione Duel At Dawn
In the fog of a Paris dawn in 1832, Evariste Galois, the twenty-year-old founder of modern algebra, was shot and killed in a duel. Arguing that not even the purest mathematics can be separated from its cultural background, the author shows how popular stories about mathematicians are morality tales about their craft as it relates to the world.
