Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality- Edward Frenkel

Original title: Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality

In this book, Edward is to expose evil grabbing our society work in teaching mathematics as they continue teaching subjects that are very archaic and no new discoveries. I like the explanation that makes of the masters of painting.

Edward tries to explain mathematical ideas and problems that the general public are unknown and are fascinating.

It does so with a very simple format, dare a small autobiography in which he explains as the very young fell in love with mathematics. In this work, also, he exposes the corruption and anti-Semitic hatred of the Soviet Union, and as overcoming all adversity became one of the leading mathematicians of the twentieth century.

Also, He introduces us to one of the most ambitious projects of mathematics, the Langlands program. This program comes to finding connections or usefulness of a field of mathematics in other fields, and functions as a translation system to which he refers by the name of Rosetta Stone. (The one who helped translate the ancient Egyptian, and we're not talking about the program.) The Langlands program is considered as a Grand Unified Theory of mathematics

I recommend reading it more than once because even though he has done a great job so that the general public can understand the mathematical level of this book, no less is complicated.
