In this 2003 book, Ioan James introduces and profiles sixty mathematicians, all born between 1700 and 1910, an era which saw mathematics freed from its classical origins to develop into its modern form. The portrayals, when read in sequence, convey in human terms something of the way in which mathematics developed.
