    • An account of the major work of Janos Bolyai, a nineteenth-century mathematician who set the stage for the field of non-Euclidean geometry. Janos Bolyai (1802-1860) was a mathematician who changed our fundamental ideas about space. As a teenager he started to explore a set of nettlesome geometrical problems, including Euclid's parallel postulate, and in 1832 he published a brilliant twenty-four-page paper that eventually shook the foundations of the 2000-year-old tradition of Euclidean geometry. Bolyai's Appendix (published as just that--an appendix to a much longer mathematical work by his father) set up a series of mathematical proposals whose implications would blossom into the new field of non-Euclidean geometry, providing essential intellectual background for ideas as varied as the theory of relativity and the work of Marcel Duchamp. In this short book, Jeremy Gray explains Bolyai's ideas and the historical context in which they emerged, were debated, and were eventually recognized as a central achievement in the Western intellectual tradition. Intended for nonspecialists, the book includes facsimiles of Bolyai's original paper and the 1898 English translation by G. B. Halstead, both reproduced from copies in the Burndy Library at MIT.

      Der neue Gray erstmals im Taschenbuch Schluß mit dem Alleinsein! Wie Amors Pfeil ins Schwarze gelenkt werden kann. Warum verlieben wir uns immer wieder in den Falschen? Wie und wo finden wir die Frau fürs Leben? Woran erkennen wir unseren Seelengefährten? Wer sehnt sich nicht nach dem einen idealen Partner und erfüllter, wahrhaftiger Liebe? Aber Suchen und vor allem Finden scheint immer schwieriger zu werden. Ist echte Liebe ein Produkt des Zufalls? Nein, sagt Paartherapeut und Bestsellerautor John Gray. Mit langjähriger Erfahrung, viel gesundem Menschenverstand und einer erfrischenden Portion Humor weist er den Weg aus dem unfreiwilligen Single-Dasein: vom ersten himmlischen Rendezvous bis hin zum dauerhaften irdischen Glück mit dem ersehnten Partner.

    • Le Défi de Hilbert

      Un siècle de mathématiques

      Cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire des 23 problèmes que le grand mathématicien allemand David Hilbert a proposés à la sagacité des mathématiciens lors d'un congrès à Paris, en 1900. Ces problèmes ont considérablement influencé la recherche en mathématiques depuis cette date. Jeremy Gray propose une vision générale du développement des mathématiques de la fin du XIX e siècle à nos jours. Pour ce faire, il a replacé les mathématiques dans leur contexte historique, social et culturel. On trouve ainsi de nombreux développements sur différentes écoles de mathématiques : Bourbaki en France, l'école soviétique, les mathématiques aux Etats-Unis... et des notices biographiques sur de grands mathématiciens. Les problèmes sont présentés sans formalisme excessif (quelques compléments mathématiques sont présentés en encarts), ce qui rend le texte accessible à un large lectorat . Pierre Cartier présente en Introduction à la version française de ce livre : «les défis relevés par les mathématiciens de l'ère "post-hilbertienne"».
