<li>Karen Parshall's biography <i>James Joseph Sylvester: Jewish Mathematician in a Victorian World ,
</i>Baltimore: Johns Hopkins (2006).</li><li>David Lindsay Roberts's more recent volume, also from Hopkins, entitled <i>Republic of Numbers</i>. This is a delightful collection of biographical essays on figures contributing to the history of mathematics in the U.S. from Nathaniel Bowditch to John
Nash. There are excellent references to full biographical works when these are available.</li></ol>
<div>Good reading - and writing - to all.</div>
