Who's it named after?

We hear the names of famous figures both in and out of school. A mountain was named after one, a unit of physics after another, a chemical element or even a mathematical theorem. But who was the Ludolph whose name is borne by one particular number? Did the creator of Braille have poor eyesight? Did Marie Curie-Skłodowska manage to win a Nobel prize? You will find out this and much more in this entertaining book about people who shone so brightly in their field that their discoveries, achievements or ideas were named after them.
