«La vida secreta de los números» is the popular science essay by Kate Kitagawa and Timothy Revell (Ediciones Paidós, paperback, 384 pages, in Spanish).
The work traces the global history of mathematics, recovering pioneers ignored for their race, gender or nationality, from Hypatia and the scholars of the House of Wisdom to Madhava, the 'human computers' and the Black mathematicians of the civil rights movement. It challenges the dominant Eurocentric view.
The original English edition was published in 2023; the Spanish translation by Ana Guelbenzu appeared in 2024 within the Terra collection from Paidós.
For those interested in popular science and a more inclusive history of mathematics, focused on figures usually omitted.
