How many of us, who are not practising
mathematicians or mathematics students know about any mathematician? The
number would be very small. It has got nothing to do with the fact that
mathematicians are not very famous, but its because there is a general
perception that what mathematicians do has got nothing to real day to
day life, its as abstract as anything in this world can be. Yet another
thing can be the lack of biographies of great mathematicians. In this
aspect Slyvia Nasar’s excellent book “A Beautiful Mind” later made into a
movie of the same name starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Conolley is
indeed a great boon.
