Love and Mathematics tells the two intertwined stories of mathematics and the adventure of a man who learns it. The result is a narrative about how he became one of the leading mathematicians of the twenty-first century, working on one of the greatest ideas to emerge from mathematics in the last 50 years: the Langlands Program. As Frenkel demonstrates, a mathematical formula can be as elegant and beautiful as a painting, a poem, or a piece of music. The process of creating new mathematics is an artistic endeavor – a deeply personal experience that requires passion, dedication, and love. In Love and Mathematics, Frenkel shows readers the aesthetic – and truly powerful – side of mathematics, allowing even those who have long been intimidated by it to appreciate this field.
