Physical description; 260 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Summary; This man could plainly do for mathematics what Brian Cox has done for physics"". (Sunday Times). How does a genius see the world? Where and how does inspiration strike? Cedric Villani takes us on a mesmerising adventure as he wrestles with the Boltzmann equation - a new theorem that will eventually win him the most coveted prize in mathematics and a place in the mathematical history books. 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. Of ordinary family life blurring with the abstract world of mathematical physics, of theories and equations that haunt your dreams and seeking the elusive inspiration found only in a locked, darkened room. Blending science with history, biography with myth, Villani conjures up an inimitable cast: the omnipresent Einstein, mad genius Kurt Godel, and Villani's personal hero, John Nash.

"The Institute for Advanced Study was home to Einstein in decline, the place where the father of relativity worked the 20 fruitless years on field theory and wrote naive political tracks. It was where Kurt Godel starved himself in paranoid delusion, and where J. Robert Oppenheimer road out his political persecution with boozy evenings in the Director's mansion.Founded in 1933 by philanthropic department store magnate, the Institute has played host to fourteen Nobel prize winner is and to most of the great physicists and mathematicians of the twentieth century. Who Got Einstein's Office? tells, for the first time, the story of this 'intellectual hotel' designed solely to indulge the Mandarins of theory, and is suspended, nation of science and anecdote." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
