Birth of a Theorem : A Mathematical Adventure
In 2010, the French mathematician Cedric Villani received the Fields Medal, the most coveted prize in mathematics, in recognition of a proof that he devised with his close collaborator Clement Mouhot to explain one of the most surprising theories in classical physics. It invites readers inside the mind of a great mathematician as he wrestles with the most important work of his career.But you don't have to understand nonlinear Landau damping to love Birth of a Theorem. Birth of a Theorem is Villani's own account of the years leading up to the award.
Villani's diaries, e-mails, and musings enmesh you in the process of discovery. It doesn't simplify or overexplain; rather, it invites readers into a collaboration. You join him in unproductive lulls and late-night breakthroughs.
You're privy to dining-hall conversations at the world's greatest research institutions.
