Reviews

Original Review of Sir Isaac Newton: ‘It is fortunate…that to write such a volume should have fallen to a mathematician who has the pen of a ready writer, the dramatic skill to present his readers with something that is more than a lay figure and a welcome power of lucid exposition.’ The Mathematical Gazette, Volume 14, Issue 192, (1928). ‘Professor Brodetsky has given us a balanced and critical account of the life and research of Newton – an account which brings out equally well Newton’s remarkable personality and remarkable work.’ Transactions of the Faraday Society, Volume 25 (1929).
