The coming of age of the mathematician Sophie Germain is brought to life through a fictionalised journal that intertwines the history of mathematics with accounts of the brutal events of the French Revolution. The intellectual struggles of this exceptional young woman will inspire a variety of readers, both mathematicians and novices.

The intention of this book is to shine a bright light on the intellectual context of Euler¿s contributions to physics and mathematical astronomy. Leonhard Euler is one of the most important figures in the history of science, a blind genius who introduced mathematical concepts and many analytical tools to help us understand and describe the universe. Euler also made a monumental contribution to astronomy and orbital mechanics, developing what h...

Discovered by Lagrange, Sophie Germain (1776-1831) stood right between Gauss and Legendre, and both publicly recognized her scientific efforts. Unlike her female predecessors and contemporaries, Sophie Germain was an impressive mathematician and made lasting contributions to both number theory and the theories of vibration and elasticity. She was able to walk with ease across the bridge between the fields of pure mathematics and engineering ph...
