Bibliography & Further Reading
Some books and papers that helped me write the book, accompanied by some other resources to help you find out more about the history of mathematics - and the maths of history!
Beyond the Book
Not every book worthy of inclusion in our imagined mathematicians' library made it into The Mathematicians' Library, largely due to space constraints. We have no such constraints here!
