Gilt lettering is bright and clear on the spine. "Blaise Pascal was born in Clermont in Auvergne on June 19, 1623, the son of the president of the Court of Aids of Clermont. He was a precocious child, and soon showed amazing mathematical talent. His early training was scientific other than literary or theological, and scientific interests predominated during the first period of his activity. He corresponded with the most distinguished scholars of the time and made important contributions to pure and applied mathematics and to physics." p. 7.
