Published on 11/09/2025, The Mathematicians’ Library (ISBN: 9781836004851) is an exploration of the development of mathematics through some of its most important publications. It’s aimed at people who are not necessarily ‘maths fans’ who are interested in finding out a bit more about how, where, and when the subject has featured in human history. In the words of one reader, “it is a history book covering literature, art and mathematics and how they can all link into each other and should not be considered in isolation.” Every page is packed with full-colour, high-quality images, making it not just a great read but a perfect addition to any coffee table.
There’s something for everyone here: enough detail to get you started if you want to burrow into a rabbit-hole, but not so much as to overwhelm.
Far from an academic ‘maths book’, it is a book about maths; about the role that this most ancient of human endeavours has played in the development of humanity, and where its achievements have prompted – and been prompted by – growth in disciplines that many people in the modern world see as entirely separate.
