Birth of a Theorem: A Mathematical Adventure
Cedric Villani
How does a genius see the world? Where and how does inspiration strike? Blending science with history, biography with myth, the author conjures up an inimitable cast: the omnipresent Einstein, mad genius Kurt Godel, and Villani's personal hero, John Nash.
