Book Synopsis
This remarkable book has endured as a masterpiece of mathematical exposition. There are few mathematics books that are still so widely read and continue to have so much to offer-even after more than half a century. The book is overflowing with mathematical ideas, which are explained clearly and elegantly, and above all, with penetrating insight.
