The Story of Paul Erdos and the Search for Mathematical Truth
A biography of the little known, prolific and rather strange mathematical genius who for six decades thought and wrote maths for nineteen hours a day, seven days a week, until his death aged 83. Fuelled by espresso and amphetamines he toured the world with his mother in tow, racing across continents to mathematicians' doorsteps with the object of proving as many theorems as possible.
