In the work, Stewart discusses the lives and contributions of 25 figures who are prominent in the history of mathematics. ReceptionIn Kirkus Reviews, it was written that "even a popularizer as skilled and prolific as Stewart cannot expect general readers to fully digest his highly distilled explanations of what these significant figures did to resolve ever more complex conundrums as math advanced." However, the reviewer praised Stewart's sketches of the lives and times of the innovators. The book was described as "a text for teachers, precocious students, and intellectually curious readers unafraid to tread unfamiliar territory".[1] References1. ^{{Cite book|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/ian-stewart/significant-figures/|title=SIGNIFICANT FIGURES by Ian Stewart {{!}} Kirkus Reviews|language=en-us}} 4 : 2017 non-fiction books|Basic Books books|Books by Ian Stewart|Mathematics books |
