Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality by Edward Frenkel
4.0
I was fooled by the cover and honestly thought that this book would talk about math in pairing. Whoops.
What I liked about this book was that Frenkel explains his love of math and theories, but also talks about his journey to becoming a mathematician in dire circumstances.
I'm not a math person, but I really enjoyed this book due to the humanisation of math and the passion the writer showed for his subject. It felt like getting a glimpse into a world that is fascinating and strange.
Did it make me love math? No. But after being recruited into teaching it and then reading this book, I have a better appreciation for it.
