Description
The book Love and Mathematics is an ode to modern mathematical research. The author takes the reader behind the scenes and shows how mathematical reality emerges before the eyes of mathematicians. Through apt analogies and numerous illustrations, the reader learns about abstract mathematical concepts, specifically the Langlands program – one of the most fundamental ideas that has emerged in mathematics over the past fifty years. Interwoven with the description of elegant and fascinating concepts reflecting human thought is the story of a young boy who dreams of becoming a mathematician. The author's intimate confession captures his journey from the bizarre atmosphere that prevailed in the Soviet Union during a time of antisemitism to his time at Harvard University, where he collaborated with the world's leading mathematicians and immersed himself in research on the Langlands program.
