The Man Who Loved Only Numbers: The Story of Paul Erdos and the Search for Mathematical Truth by Paul Hoffman

5.0

I am fortunate to have read this book. Paul Erdos is an example of a stereotype of 'absentminded mathematician' but also is the counter-example of 'early genius'(he worked till his death). It is only fitting that a book on this 'travelling mathematician' not only details his life but also explains, most importantly, about other people who are important to mathematics.
