Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1955 e ristampato in numerose edizioni aggiornate, il volume nasconde sotto le spoglie di uno stile apparentemente semplice e di una struttura lineare, un testo che il lettore interessato sarà invogliato a rileggere e che, ad ogni rilettura, fornirà nuovi stimoli per approfondire i problemi trattati. In ogni capitolo, con il pretesto di spiegare le proprietà caratteristiche di un numero particolare, intero, ir...

Jerzy Neyman received the National Medal of Science "for laying the foundations of modern statistics and devising tests and procedures that have become essential parts of the knowledge of every statistician." Until his death in 1981 at the age of 87, Neyman was vigorously involved in the concerns and controversies of the day, a scientist whose personality and activity were integral parts of his contribution to science. His career is thus parti...

I am very pleased that my books about David Hilbert, published in 1970, and Richard Courant, published in 1976, are now being issued by Springer­ Verlag in a single volume. I have always felt that they belonged together, Courant being, as I have written, the natural and necessary sequel to Hilbert­ the rest of the story. To make the two volumes more compatible when published as one, we have combined and brought up to date the indexes of names ...

A combination of number lore, number history, and descriptions of the simply stated, but difficult problems posed by the ordinary numbers that first appeared in 1955.

...a story of great mathematicians and their achievements, of practical successes and failures, and of human perfidy and generosity...this is one of the still too rare occasions in which mathematicians are shown as frail, flesh-and-blood creatures...a very worthwhile book." -CHOICE

It presents a sensitive portrait of a great human being. It describes accurately and intelligibly on a nontechnical level the world of mathematical ideas in which Hilbert created his masterpieces. And it illuminates the background of German social history against which the drama of Hilberts life was played. Beyond this, it is a poem in praise of mathematics." -SCIENCE
