Gamma: Exploring Euler’s Constant (Princeton Science Library)

Among the myriad of constants that appear in mathematics, p, e, and i are the most familiar. Following closely behind is g, or gamma, a constant that arises in many mathematical areas yet maintains a profound sense of mystery.In a tantalizing blend of history and mathematics, Julian Havil takes the reader on a journey through logarithms and the ha More »

[ 3.0 stars ] "The material in the book is good, but it is marred by bad proof-reading of the equations which is irritating in a book about quite difficult mathematics. I suspect OCR is to blame, but it did spoil the book a bit for me. There is a confusion of 'n' and 'pi' on the very first page when the proof-reader should still have been awake. ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "I am quite happy with the first chapter, which is on Napier's definition of logarithms. I hadn't seen a presentation of Napier's work before, and since talking about logarithms is such an everyday thing to do in mathematics (and we unconsciously switch between their different properties like approximating the harmonic series, being the inverse of the exponential function, and being ant ..."

[ 2.0 stars ] "Summation of series is statistical and entropical in nature. In fact summtion is rather superposition. When f(x) = 1/x, integral do not exist but only summation. Are there a profound relations between the constants pi, i, e , and gamma? This book had not answer that for me. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This book is a fascinating survey of a variety of mathematical topics all related in one way or other to the gamma constant, a number approximately equal to 0.577 which was discovered by the great 18th century mathematician Leonhard Euler. Topics include logarithms, the harmonic series, the gamma function, the zeta function, and the prime number theorem. The exposition generally follows the histor ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "There is no shortage of good material in this book. The problem is Havil's writing style is very unfriendly it's as if he thinks you already know the material. There are many section that are written badly and are after re-reading several times I still don't understand them. Also this is written for folks who know math very well and I'm one of those folks, yet I find many sections ..." Courtesy by Amazon
