The book explores the mystery of the prime numbers which have driven some of the greatest mathematicians mad. This book is so well written, and tells its story vividly and with such interesting human detail. Du Sautoy shares with us the story of the eccentric and brilliant men who sought a solution that would revolutionise fields as diverse as e-commerce, quantum mechanics and computer science. He makes a good attempt at involving the reader in the mathematician’s world and share the beauties and secrets it contains. |
