Near Fine.. np (40pp), profusely illustrated in b&w and color. Designed by George Tscherny. This is the catalogue published in conjunction with the 1961 I.B.M.-sponsored exhibition entitled "Mathematica: A World of Numbers... And Beyond" that was presented concurrently at three separate American Museums. For this ambitious undertaking the Office of Ray and Charles Eames was engaged to design an immersive environment illuminating the history of Mathematics and Science.
