Summary
"At the time her nine-year-old son was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Joan Richards was deeply involoved in writing a book about the life and work of the nineteenth-century mathematician Augustus De Morgan. Immersed in this abstract, logical world of science, Richards was forced by her son's sudden illness to confront a different kind of reality the irrational world of a serious family illness and its consequences."--Jacket.
