An awesome, globe-spanning journey through the beauty and power of mathematics unfolds in this New York Times bestselling work. What if you were only taught to paint a fence in art class, never exposed to masterpieces like those of van Gogh and Picasso? This analogy reflects how math is often taught, leading many to perceive it as dull. Renowned mathematician Edward Frenkel reveals a side of math filled with beauty and elegance, demonstrating that it transcends a specialist niche and connects us across cultures and time. The narrative intertwines the wonders of mathematics with Frenkel's personal journey through a discriminatory educational system to become a leading mathematician of the twenty-first century. He now focuses on the Langlands Program, a groundbreaking idea in mathematics that allows researchers to translate findings across fields, solving previously intractable problems like Fermat's last theorem. At its heart, this work invites readers to access a new way of thinking that enriches our lives and enhances our understanding of the world and our place within it, revealing the magic of the hidden universe of mathematics.
