Rezension

“The book motivates and introduces its topic well and successively argues for the claim that comparative studies or proofs are a worthwhile occupation. All chapters are accessible to a generally informed mathematical audience, most of them to mathematical laymen with a basic knowledge of number theory and geometry.” (Merlin Carl, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2016)

“This book addresses the question of why mathematicians prove certain fundamental theorems again and again. … Each chapter is a historical account of how and why these theorems have been reproved several times throughout several centuries. The primary readers of this book will be historians or philosophers of mathematics … .” (M. Bona, Choice, Vol. 53 (6), February, 2016)

“This is an impressive book, giving proofs, sketches, or ideas of proofs of a variety of fundamental theorems of mathematics, ranging from Pythagoras’s theorem, through the fundamental theorems of arithmetic and algebra, to the compactness theorem of first-order logic. … because of the many examples given, there should be something to suit everybody’s taste … .” (Jessica Carter, Philosophia Mathematica, February, 2016)
