In mathematics, as in any creative work, it is the thinker\'s whole life that propels discovery--and with Birth of a Theorem, C dric Villani welcomes you into his.
Villani shares his favorite songs, his love of manga, and the imaginative stories he tells his children.
You\'re privy to dining-hall conversations at the world\'s greatest research institutions.
You join him in unproductive lulls and late-night breakthroughs.
Villani\'s diaries, e-mails, and musings enmesh you in the process of discovery.
It doesn\'t simplify or overexplain; rather, it invites readers into a collaboration.
But you don\'t have to understand nonlinear Landau damping to love Birth of a Theorem.
It invites readers inside the mind of a great mathematician as he wrestles with the most important work of his career.
Birth of a Theorem is Villani\'s own account of the years leading up to the award.
