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.
Mathematical genius Villani takes the reader on an imaginative journey through the discovery of a new mathematical theorem. Combines passion and imagination to make maths magical and exciting. 'This man could plainly do for mathematics what Brian Cox has done for physics' "Sunday Times"
