Hungarian-born Erd s believed that the meaning of life was to prove and conjecture. His work in the United States and all over the world has earned him the titles of the century's leading number theorist and the most prolific mathematician who ever lived. Erd s's important work has proved pivotal to the development of computer science, and his unique personality makes him an unforgettable character in the world of mathematics. Incapable of the smallest of household tasks and having no permanent home or job, he was sustained by the generosity of colleagues and by his own belief in the beauty of numbers. \u003cbr\u003e Witty and filled with the sort of mathematical puzzles that intrigued Erd s and continue to fascinate mathematicians today, \u003ci\u003eMy Brain Is Open\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of this strange genius and a journey in his footsteps through the world of mathematics, where universal truths await discovery like hidden treasures and where brilliant proofs are poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Schechter\u003c\/b\u003e holds a Ph.D. in physics from M.I.T. and is a former editor at \u003ci\u003ePhysics Today\u003c\/i\u003e and a former staff writer at \u003ci\u003eDiscover.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Path of No Resistance, \u003c\/i\u003e a book about superconductivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 8.66 x 5.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 17, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468124930301,"sku":"9780684859804","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/T0Fqd3huYk5jZ09mb1Z2T3hyd3ZoQT09.webp?v=1777285478","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/my-brain-is-open-the-mathematical-journeys-of-paul-erdos-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
