📗 Libro en inglés GAMMA: EXPLORING EULER S CONSTANT

"I like this book very much. So much, in fact, that I found myself muttering ''neat stuff!'' all the way through. While it is about an important topic, there isn''t a single competitor. This amazing oversight by past authors is presumably the result of the topic requiring an author with a pretty sophisticated mathematical personality. Havil clearly has that. His skillful weaving of mathematics and history makes the book a ''fun'' read. Many instructors will surely find the book attractive."--Paul J. Nahin, author of "Duelling Idiots" and "Other Probability Puzzlers" and "An Imaginary Tale" "This is an excellent book, mathematically as well as historically. It represents a significant contribution to the literature on mathematics and its history at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels. Julian Havil injects genuine excitement into the topic."--Eli Maor, author of "e: The Story of a Number"
