A Completely Inadequate Bibliography of the History of Mathematics
Caveat: This is neither exhaustive nor unbiased. Primarily, it consists of books that I have read that I will vouch have some value (even if the value is entertainment, as in Bell's book). Most of the following books are aimed at the professional non-mathematician (i.e., someone to whom the land of mathematics is an interesting place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there). A note about the ratings: Again, no claim of objectivity is made. However, the following rating system is fairly objective, as it indicates the amount of mathematical background necessary to truly understand the information contained:
Comprehensible with even the most basic mathematics background.
Some mathematics, but nothing too extreme; if you can recognize the "!" symbol, you should be OK.
A bit more difficult, though a year's worth of calculus or so should give you enough background to appreciate it; you can "blip" over the scarier mathematics.
Tough stuff. Best suited for math majors, or people who are really interested in the subject.

    • First, some very general references:
      • John O'Connor and Edmund Robertson of St Andrews have constructed an archive of articles about mathematicians . All famous, most infamous, and some downright unfamous mathematicians are there, together with more general articles. Most articles include pictures and cross-references, and most are aimed at a reasonably general audience.
      • David Wilkins of Trinity College, Dublin maintains a page of references to sites of relevance to the history of mathematics. This is pretty comprehensive, but many of the articles mentioned are quite advanced.
      • The George Green Library has the books mentioned in the introductory page , and many, many others [of course!].
    • Series A
    • Kepler and Copernicus : There are articles on Kepler Brahe and Copernicus in the St Andrews archive. All three include cross-references to other Web sites. Also at St Andrews there is a more general article on orbits . I used M Caspar
