This book is something of a classic of the literature of the
history of mathematics. It deals not with the men and women who
made mathematics their life and work but with those significant
figures who were primarily known for some other activity yet whose
contributions to mathematics were of permanent value. With this
lucid and hugely enjoyable survey, Professor Coolidge attempted to
evaluate their mathematical discoveries in the light of what was
known about their lives and circumstances. First published in 1949,
it remains a valuable and highly scholarly introduction to these
figures. Inevitably, modern scholarship has thrown new light on the
subjects of this book. Rather than disrupt the overall flow of the
book which is produced here unchanged, Professor Jeremy Gray has
provided a short biographical note about Professor Coolidge and an
introductory essay which discusses where new historical and
mathematical material is now available. Thus, Professor Gray is
able to describe both the strengths and flaws of this account and
to discuss the new ways in which the history of mathematics is
being re-evaluated.
