Search for Mathematical Roots, 1870-1940

I. Grattan-Guinness is Professor of the History of Mathematics and Logic at Middlesex University. Founder of the journal History and Philosophy of Logic and past President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics, he has authored or edited numerous books, including The Norton History of Mathematics, Companion Encyclopedia of the History and Philosophy of the Mathematical Sciences, and Convolutions in French Mathematics, 1800-1840.

"Grattan-Guiness's uniformly interesting and valuable account of the interwoven development of logic and related fields of mathematics ... between 1870 and 1940 presents a significantly revised analysis of the history of the period... [His] book is important because it supplies what has been lacking: a full account of the period from a primary mathematical perspective."--James W. Van Evra, Isis
