Notes:

I finished this book on the high-speed train during a round trip. It is a fairly light, autobiographical kind of mathematics book. It mainly follows the timeline of the author’s schooling, and tells the story of how a boy interested in physics, step by step and through unremitting effort, became a world-class mathematician.

Reading this book, you can gain some insight into raising children, life choices, and mathematical knowledge.
