About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“Book is a most welcome addition to the conversation involving complex dynamics and its history. It is also a valuable and human account of the Parisian mathematical community in the early-to-middle 20th Century … . It is amply illustrated with drawings from many of the works cited and photographs of most of the mathematicians mentioned. … The prose is lively, and the book is very readable.” (Daniel S. Alexander, Historia Mathematica, Vol. 41, 2014)
“This is a systematically researched and presented piece of work, with meticulous references. The exposition of the mathematics is particularly clear. … Audin is aiming this book first and foremost at mathematicians, specifically those mathematicians who are interested in the broad area of mathematics covered in the book, namely complex dynamics. … Audin’s book is not only an interesting read but also an important piece of scholarship.” (Christopher Hollings, BSHM Bulletin, Vol. 27 (1), 2012)
“Audin draws the portraits, the environment … and does it with her own views, her feelings, and her passion for mathematics and for the truth. … Even specialists in the field will find something new in the book, and nonspecialists will have an excellent introduction to modern complex dynamics. … For many readers, as for myself, the fact that the author is present on every page with a remark, a comment, and sometimes a mockery, will make it more pleasant and easy to read.” (Jean-Pierre Kahane, The Mathematical Intelligencer, Vol. 33 (3), September, 2011)
