Love and Math

Home / best-seller / Love and Math

A public lecture given by Edward Frenkel, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, talking around his best-selling book “Love and Math” followed by a conversation with Marcus du Sautoy and Q&A. “Love and Math” tells two intertwined stories: the wonders of mathematics and one young man’s journey learning and living it. The book shows that mathematics – far from occupying a specialist niche – goes to the heart of all matter, uniting us across cultures. Edward works on the Langlands correspondences. Considered by many to be a Grand Unified Theory of mathematics, the Langlands Programme enables researchers to translate findings from one field to another so that they can solve hard problems that had seemed intractable before. “Love and Math” is an invitation to discover the hidden magic universe of mathematics.
