Springer, 2006. - 553 Pages.

This book contains several contributions on the most outstanding events in the development of twentieth century mathematics, representing a wide variety of specialities in which Russian and Soviet mathematicians played a considerable role. The articles are written in an informal style, from mathematical philosophy to the description of the development of ideas, personal memories and give a unique account of personal meetings with famous representatives of twentieth century mathematics who exerted great influence in its development. This book will be of great interest to mathematicians, who will enjoy seeing their own specialities described with some historical perspective. Historians will read it with the same motive, and perhaps also to select topics for future investigation.

Facts on File, 2011. - 217 pages. For millennia, Euclidean geometry, the geometry of the ancient Greeks, set the standard for rigor in mathematics—it was the only branch of mathematics that had been developed axiomatically. Euclidean geometry, most philosophers and mathematicians agreed, was the language of mathematics. However, early in the 19th century, mathematicians developed geometries very different from Euclid’s simply by choosing axioms...
