Book Description:
|
Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960) was a distinguished mathematician and a best selling popularizer of mathematics. In The Search for E.T. Bell, Constance Reid offers a compelling account of this complicated, difficult man who never divulged to anyone, not even to his wife and son, the story of his early life and family background. Her book is thus more of a mystery than a traditional biography.
