AK Peters, 2003. - 350 pages.

This new approach to mathematics - the utilization of advanced computing technology in mathematical research - is often called experimental mathematics. The computer provides the mathematician with a "laboratory" in which she can perform experiments --- analyzing examples, testing out new ideas, or searching for pattes.

This book presents the rationale and historical context of experimental mathematics, and includes a series of examples that best portray the experimental methodology. For more examples and insights, the book, "Experimentation in Mathematics: Computational Paths to Discovery" is a highly recommended companion.

Springer, 1986. - 339 Pages. This book originated with a series of lectures on nineteenth-century analysis which I gave at the University of Calabria in 1977- 79. The study of nineteenth-century mathematics presents an extraordinarily rich and fertile field for historical research, particularly when we realize that the production of mathematics in the last century was greater than in all the preceding centuries put together, and that many contem...

Joseph Henry Press, 2003. - 422 pages. Bernhard Riemann was an underdog of sorts, a malnourished son of a parson who grew up to be the author of one of mathematics' greatest problems. In Prime Obsession, John Derbyshire deals brilliantly with both Riemann's life and that problem: proof of the conjecture, "All non-trivial zeros of the zeta function have real part one-half." Though the statement itself passes as nonsense to anyone but a mathematic...

Princeton University Press, 1994. - 223 pages. The story of pi has been told many times, both in scholarly works and in popular books. But its close relative, the number e, has fared less well. Despite the central role it plays in mathematics, its history has never before been written for a general audience. The present work fills this gap. Geared to the reader with only a modest background in mathematics, the book describes the story of e from...

Facts on File, 2011. - 217 pages. For millennia, Euclidean geometry, the geometry of the ancient Greeks, set the standard for rigor in mathematics—it was the only branch of mathematics that had been developed axiomatically. Euclidean geometry, most philosophers and mathematicians agreed, was the language of mathematics. However, early in the 19th century, mathematicians developed geometries very different from Euclid’s simply by choosing axioms...
