5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mathematics of Sonya Kovalevskaya (Hardcover)
This is a great book, and a wonderful contribution to both the history of mathematics, and to the explanation of the very mathematics that Kovalevskaya has worked on. We need more such books. I wish Springer would re-issue it in paperback.

I (the author) think it's OK.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mathematics of Sonya Kovalevskaya (Hardcover)
It would hardly be fair for me to review my own book. You need an impartial opinion, such as that of my mother, who unfortunately didn't live to see her son become an author; I think she would have liked it, however. As for me, I'm happy to find it's still available after 13 years!
