EXCERPT: FOREWORD BY THE EDITOR OF THE TRANSLATION Mathematics in view of its abstractness offers greater difficulty to the modern expositor than any other science. Yet its rapidly increasing role in modern life creates both a need and a desire for good exposition. In recent years many popular books about mathematics have appeared in the English language and some of them have enjoyed an immense sale. But for the most part they have contained little serious mathematical instruction and many of them have neglected the twentieth century the undisputed "golden age" of mathematics. Although they are admirable in many other ways they have not yet undertaken the ultimate task of mathematical exposition namely the large-scale organization of modern mathematics in such a way that the reader is constantly delighted by the obvious economizing of his own time and effort. Anyone who reads through some of the chapters in the present book will realize how well this task has been carried out by the Soviet authors in the systematic collaboration they have described in their preface. Such a book written for "a wide circle of the intelligentsia" must also discuss the general cultural importance of mathematics and its continuous development from the earliest beginnings of history down to the present day. To form an opinion of the book from this point of view the reader need only glance through the first chapter in Part 1 and the introduction to certain other chapters; for example Analysis or Analytic Geometry.

ALEXANDER AMIR
Duel At Dawn: Heroes Martyrs And The Rise Of Modern Mathematics
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In the fog of a Paris dawn in 1832 �variste Galois the twenty-year-old founder of modern algebra was shot and killed in a duel. That gunshot suggests Amir Alexander marked the end of one era in mathematics and the beginning of another. Arguing that not even the purest mathematics can be separated from its cultural background Alexander shows how popular stories about mathematicians are really morality tales about their craft as it relates to the world. In the eighteenth century Alexander says mathematicians were idealized as child-like eternally curious and uniquely suited to reveal the hidden harmonies of the world. But in the nineteenth century brilliant mathematicians like Galois became Romantic heroes like poets artists and musicians. The ideal mathematician was now an alienated loner driven to despondency by an uncomprehending world. A field that had been focused on the natural world now sought to create its own reality. Higher mathematics became a world unto itself-pure and governed solely by the laws of reason. In this strikingly original book that takes us from Paris to St. Petersburg Norway to Transylvania Alexander introduces us to national heroes and outcasts innocents swindlers and martyrs-all uncommonly gifted creators of modern mathematics. Amir Alexander is a historian and writer in Los Angeles. "Duel at Dawn is a delightful examination of the ways in which certain mathematicians have been made into mythical figures and how the tropes of those canonical treatments have changed over the years. It's a fascinating and original book."�Peter Galison author of Einstein's Clocks Poincare's Maps: Empires of Time "Does romantic mathematics exist Romantic mathematicians do. Duel at Dawn reveals how the great mathematicians of the Enlightenment used geometry to study the earth and heavens while their 19th century counterparts cherished internal beauty rather than practicality. Amir Alexander's original and convincing book opens a new path in the history of mathematics."�Jean-Michel Kantor co-author of Naming Infinity: A True Story of Religious Mysticism and Mathematical Creativity "Through the life stories of three of the period's most controversial figures Evariste Galois Niels Henrik Abel and Janos Bolyai Alexander reveals how their transgressive work changed mathematics and led to their lionization as Romantic heroes.Duel at Dawn neither talks over the head of its readers nor condescends but instead ensures that the work of these Romantic mathematicians is not cloaked in obscurity. Of particular note is his breakdown of Hungarian mathematician Janos Bolyai's discovery of non-Euclidian geometry. Alexander does not shy away from the intricacies of the theory nor the drawn out convoluted history that underlies it. He takes readers through the process step by step using plain language and clear diagrams to chart a course through the unknown. The larger narrative remains coherent without these more technical chapters thanks to Alexander's ability to weave much of the mathematics into the fascinating lives of his subjects but these in-depth studies of the math behind the men is very enriching. Mathematics need not be a scary daunting subject and Alexander does much to prove it."�Michael Patrick Brady Forbes.com "With tremendous attention to detail historian Alexander examines the lives of 18th and 19th century mathematicians finding much evidence to support his theory that the earlier geniuses of math like �variste Galois and Neils Henrik Abel cultivated an artistic temperament living short but fiery lives with little recognition while the next generation Jean le Rond d'Alembert Leonhard Euler pursued mathematics and life with purity and rigor becoming "successful men of affairs who were the bright stars of their era and lived to a ripe old age.".Alexander's personable history of mathematics over two centuries rounded out by a brief look at the present and future of the field is filled with biographical details that will interest devoted mathematicians and historians of math or science."�Publishers Weekly online "Duel at Dawn suggests how preconceptions about the trappings of genius have radiated from art to maths. But its greater value lies in peeling back the layers of hagiography from figures such as Galois to reveal gloriously complicated men."�Jascha Hoffman Nature "This is a fascinating and provocative book. It is also extremely readable: the accounts of Galois Abel Cauchy and Bolyai and their posthumous reputations are engaging and entertaining and along the way we meet many other fascinating personalities including Guglielmo Libri the aristocratic revolutionary mathematician and stealer of rare books. Alexander's arguments are illuminating."�Tony Mann Times Higher Education "Alexander sees Galois's death as a turning point in the history of modern mathematics a point at which math became less a study of nature than a purely abstract realm of its own uncontaminated by the external world. He skillfully tells the story of this change weaving it around the often tragic lives of the mathematicians most responsible for the change.A marvelous history."�Martin Gardner New Criterion "Because it is such an engrossing story it's easy to forget that the book's purpose also is to educate. Alexander conveys a general sense of who mathematicians were and how they fit in with society."�Leigh Arber Bookslut "Though the Romantic ethos has persisted for a surprisingly long time among mathematicians Alexander suspects that a cultural change is even now underway: reliance upon computers is replacing the mathematician-as-tragic-hero with the mathematician-as-skillful-nerd. Fascinating human faces peer out at the reader from behind seemingly sterile formulas."�Bryce Christensen Booklist "Alexander's sensitive and thoughtful presentation illuminates the inner geometry of mathematical experience leaving us to ponder whether its creators' parallel lives and works finally meet."�Peter Pesic Times Literary Supplement Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2010 hardcover
