First published in 1934, it presents clearly and lucidly both the statement and proof of all the standard inequalities of analysis. The authors were well-known for their powers of exposition and made this subject accessible to a wide audience of mathematicians. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Central to math education - maybe not central to yoursIf you have gone through Baby Rudin and not looked at this then you are making a very BIG mistake since it is a great book. Inequalities (along with hoping we guess right and can take a limit) are fundamental. If none of this makes sense to you, move on. Otherwise, buy the book. It is elderly but very well written (as is all of Hardy's work). Rating: - yes, do buyIt's a classic! You know, from where I stand, it seems that a great many people have fallen prey to the notion that the purpose of mathematics is to prove theorems and write new textbooks in the same old format, with a letter changed here or there. This is a work by a writer, I am thinking especially of Hardy but Polya as well, who understands that the purpose of mathematics is also to become a good writer, and to write books that do more than just inform the reader that this or that is true. ...

This is the definitive and monumental text on inequality -- the little angular symbols you see in all fields of mathematics -- from analysis to number theory to topology to combinatorics (i would say all fields of science but I am not a math apologist, mind you, so I would stay with those things I know something about). Rating: - This is one of the most important books of the century.The authors are among the greatest mathematicians of this century. The contents of this book form the basis for countless applications of mathematics in economics, finance, engineering and physical sciences.
