Based on a National Magazine Award-winning article, this masterful
biography of Hungarian-born Paul Erdos is both a vivid portrait of
an eccentric genius and a layman's guide to some of this century's
most startling mathematical discoveries. A man who possessed
unimaginable powers of thought yet was unable to perform the
simplest daily tasks, Erdos dedicated his life to the pursuit of
mathematical truth. Here, award-winning science writer Paul Hoffman
follows the career and achievements of this philosopher-scientist
whose way of life was as inconceivable as the theorems he devised,
yet whose accomplishments continue to enrich and inform the world.
