This is a good book if you are interested in the history of math
Bourbaki, Nicolas (1998), Elements of the History of Mathematics, Berlin, Heidelberg, and New York: Springer-Verlag, 301 pages, ISBN 3540647678, http://www.amazon.com/Elements-History-Mathematics-Nicolas-Bourbaki/dp/3540647678/.
I am going to continue pointing out the contributions made by certain peoples to mathematics as we go on.
