Hermann Graßmann Biography

From the reviews:

“This review is principally concerned, provides a description of Grassmann’s life and an analysis of his mathematical ideas. … In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this biography, and it must surely be the seminal work on the life and times of Hermann Grassmann. … The level of scholarship is consistently high, which is evidenced by the fact that almost … 306 pages is devoted to references and bibliographical information. … greatly benefited from the addition of a mathematical index.” (P. N. Ruane, The Mathematical Association of America, March, 2010)

“One should welcome this English translation of the German original … . The book, intended ‘to critically appreciate and explain the life and work of Hermann Gunther Graßmann (1809-1877)’, does it in a clear and well documented way. … The book is richly illustrated (47 figures) and completed with chronology of Graßmann’s life and an extensive bibliography on him (16 pages).” (Roman Duda, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1195, 2010)
