4.0 out of 5 stars Mathematicians under the Nazis, January 1, 2010
By 
Sam Adams (Minnesota. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mathematicians under the Nazis (Hardcover)
This is not a history of mathematics in German universities during the Nazi regime. It is a history of politics among German mathematicians during the Nazi regime. The names are here but the mathematics is not. I began to read it, then abandoned it and reverted to skimming each page when it became clear in the fourth chapter what little the book had to do with mathematics per se. The author could just as well be talking about German academic basket weavers for all it matters that the discussion refers to mathematicians. My rating of it gives it the benefit of the doubt that for those readers who care about the subject it may indeed be a valuable book.
