The Mathematical Century by Piergiorgio Odifreddi
The 30 Greatest Problems and Theories of the 20th Century
A brisk, accessible survey of twentieth-century mathematics that highlights the major problems, theorems and conceptual revolutions of the era while sketching the personalities and historical contexts behind them; the book presents technical ideas in nontechnical language, links developments in logic, computation, geometry and analysis to broader scientific and philosophical themes, and offers both popular exposition and critical reflection on how these breakthroughs reshaped mathematics and its place in modern thought.
