Men of Mathematics: The Lives and Achievements of the Great Mathematicians from Zeno to Poincaré is a book on the history of mathematics published in 1937 by Scottish-born American mathematician and science fiction writer E. T. Bell (1883–1960). After a brief chapter on three ancient mathematicians, it covers the lives of about forty mathematicians who flourished in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. The book is illustrated by mathematical discussions, with emphasis on mainstream mathematics.

dbo:abstract
  • Los grandes matemáticos,​ cuyo título original en inglés es Men of Mathematics, es un conocido libro de historia de las matemáticas, escrito en 1937 por el matemático E.T. Bell. Luego de un breve capítulo sobre tres matemáticos de la antigüedad, el libro aborda la vida de una treintena de matemáticos entre los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX. El énfasis está puesto en las principales corrientes matemáticas que siguieron a sus trabajos. Para mantener la atención del lector, se resaltan aspectos inusuales o dramáticos de los protagonistas. Los grandes matemáticos ha inspirado a muchos jóvenes, incluyendo a un joven John Forbes Nash Jr., a convertirse en matemáticos. No pretende ser un libro de historia, incluye muchas anécdotas y presenta una visión idealizada de los matemáticos, su personalidad, investigaciones y controversias. (es)

The book is illustrated by mathematical discussions, with emphasis on mainstream mathematics. To keep the interest of readers, the book typically focuses on unusual or dramatic aspects of its subjects' lives. Men of Mathematics has inspired many young people, including John Forbes Nash Jr., Julia Robinson, and Freeman Dyson, to become mathematicians. It is not intended as a rigorous history, and includes many anecdotal accounts. (en)
