What would happen if you were taught to paint a fence in art class? Or that they never showed you a painting or told you about the existence of Van Gogh or Picasso? Well, this is how mathematics has taught us. In this fascinating book, one of the most brilliant mathematicians of the moment reveals to us the side of mathematics that we have never seen, varnished with all the beauty and elegance of a piece of art. Morrison immerses us in a discipline present at the heart of all matter, which unites cultures, time and space. And he does so through two stories, that of the evolution and the great discoveries of mathematics, and, in parallel, that of his personal biography, which led him from being rejected at the Moscow mathematics faculty to becoming one of the most important mathematicians of the 21st century. But the book is not only an exciting story of self-improvement tinged with popular science, but also introduces us to a new way of thinking capable of enriching our personal lives and helping us better understand the world and our place in it. It is an invitation to discover the magic of the hidden universe of mathematics.
