3.0 out of 5 stars
A mathematical biography,
This review is from: Arthur Cayley: Mathematician Laureate of the Victorian Age (Hardcover)
You'll enjoy this book more if you're not mathematically knowledgeable because that's the audience it's written for. More than half the text deals with Cayley's mathematics but when the author feels it necessary to explain that a determinant is "a technical name given to a formula used to extract a single number from a spatial array", you can't expect deeper math topics to be treated with more than a superficial gloss. As a mathematician, I was disappointed in this book.
