Man Who Loved Only Numbers: The Story of Paul Erdos & the Search for Mathematical by Paul Hoffman
informative
inspiring
slow-paced
3.5
Very interesting book for sure, Paul Erdös' life and mind are fascinating.
However, I found the pacing of this book rather slow, as it tends to be with autobiographies in my experience, and it would sometimes take detours about some other mathematicians. I found that a little irritating and less interesting.
I likely won't reread it, but I'm glad I did read it when my math professor lend me the book. I definitely learned something!
