Description:

First published in 1980 (with an Italian translation in 1983) Peano: Life and Works of Giuseppe Peano has remained the standard biography of this great mathematician of the late 19th century. In addition to his mathematics, the book also discusses Peano’s role in the international auxiliary language movement. Long out of print, this corrected Definitive Edition (2006) makes it available once more in an attractive, low-priced edition that also includes numerous illustrations.
