(3) YA Pioneers in Mathematics series. This set profiles fifty mathematicians from ancient times to the present, refreshingly paying particular attention to female and non-European mathematicians. Brief biographies accompany explanations of each mathematician's discoveries. The dense content and textbookish design may be off-putting to readers looking for an overview, but the unpatronizing level of mathematical detail will be greatly welcomed by those engrossed in the subject. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Pioneers in Mathematics titles: The Age of Genius, The Birth of Mathematics, The Foundations of Mathematics, Mathematics Frontiers, and Modern Mathematics.
