This is the story of American mathematics during the past
century. It contains articles and excerpts from a century of the
American Mathematical Monthly, giving the reader an opportunity to
skim all one hundred volumes of this popular mathematics magazine
without actually opening them. It samples mathematics year by year
and decade by decade. The reader can glimpse the mathematical
community at the turn of the century, the controversy about
Einstein and relativity, the debates about formalism in logic, the
immigration of mathematicians from Europe, and the frantic effort
to organize as the war began. More recent articles deal with the
advent of computers and the changes they brought, and with some of
the triumphs of modern research. |
