Description
G. H. Hardy's A Mathematician's Apology is a unique account of mathematics as an art form. Written in 1940, this book offers a brilliant and engaging exploration of the subject, one that was hailed by Graham Greene as "the best account of what it was like to be a creative artist". Hardy's autobiography provides a fascinating insight into his life, including his collaboration with Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, his idiosyncrasies, and his passion for cricket. This book is an engaging read that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of mathematics. With its witty anecdotes and rich store of stories, A Mathematician's Apology is a compelling account of one of modern times' most influential mathematicians.
