520 8 $aWhat goes on inside the mind of a mathematician? Where does inspiration come from? With a storyteller's gift, mathematics genius Cédric Villani takes us on a mesmerising journey through the discovery of a new theorem. Along the way he encounters obstacles and setbacks, losses of faith and even brushes with madness. His story is one of courage and partnership, doubt and anxiety, elation and despair.
