“Though Singh may not ask us to bring too much algebra to the table, he does expect us to appreciate a good detective story.”
–Boston Sunday Globe
“The history of mathematics comes alive even for those who dread balancing their checkbooks.”
–Publishers Weekly
“Singh captures the joys and frustrations of this quest for an extremely elusive proof…and builds to a truly engrossing climax. It’s a mathematical page-turner.”
