New from Princeton

Mathematics and ArtA Cultural HistoryLynn GamwellWith a foreword by Neil deGrasse Tyson

“ Handsomely illustrated and containing a wealth of information, this book is a must for anyone interested in the relations between science, nature, mathematics, and art. It is destined to become a classic on par with E. H. Gombrich’s landmark work The Sense of Order.”— Eli Maor, author of e: The Story

of a Number

Mathematics in Ancient EgyptA Contextual HistoryAnnette Imhausen

“ Imhausen is one of the leading contemporary researchers in the mathematics of ancient Egypt and her book, which spans the whole of Egyptian mathematics from the early dynastic periods to the Greco-Roman era, will be the quintessential scholarly work in the field.”— Amy Shell-Gellasch,

Montgomery College

Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of PracticesJosé Ferreirós

Offering a wealth of philosophical and historical insights, Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices challenges us to rethink some of our most basic assumptions about mathematics, its objectivity, and its relationship to culture and science.

L.A. MathRomance, Crime, and Mathematics in the City of AngelsJames D. Stein

“ With L.A. Math, James Stein has written a fun collection of short stories whose mysteries are resolved through classical mathematical conundrums. A unique book that is suitably entertaining both in and out of the classroom.”— Arthur Benjamin, author of

The Magic of Math

The Best Writing on Mathematics 2015Edited by Mircea Pitici

This annual anthology brings together the year’s finest mathematics writing from around the world. Featuring promising new voices alongside some of the foremost names in the field, The Best Writing on Mathematics 2015 makes available to a wide audience many articles not easily found anywhere else.

Classification of Pseudo-reductive GroupsBrian Conrad & Gopal Prasad

The results and methods developed in Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups will interest mathematicians and graduate students who work with algebraic groups in number theory and algebraic geometry in positive characteristic.
