Pi A Source Book

The aim of this book is to provide a complete history of pi from the dawn of mathematical time to the present. The story of pi reflects the most seminal, the most serious & sometimes the silliest aspects of mathematics, & a surprising amount of the most important mathematics & mathematicians have contributed to its unfolding. Pi is one of the few concepts in mathematics whose mention evokes a response of recognition & interest in those not concerned professionally with the subject. Yet, despite this, no source book on pi has been published. One of the beauties of the literature on pi is that it allows for the inclusion of very modern, yet still accessible, mathematics.Berggren, Lennart is the author of 'Pi A Source Book', published 1999 under ISBN 9780387989464 and ISBN 0387989463.
