Duel at Dawn

- Heroes, Martyrs, and the Rise of Modern Mathematics

Bag om Duel at Dawn

Alexander shows how popular stories about mathematicians are really morality tales about their craft as it relates to the world. In the eighteenth century, he says, mathematicians were idealized as child-like, eternally curious; by the nineteenth century, brilliant mathematicians became Romantic heroes like poets, artists, and musicians.
