Love & Math: Edward Frenkel (#281)

Edward Frenkel’s latest book Love and Math, a New York Times
bestseller, was named one of the Best Books of the year by both
Amazon and iBooks, and won the Euler Book Prize from the
Mathematical Association of America. The book reveals a side of
math seldom seen, suffused with all the beauty and elegance of a
work of art. Mathematics, he writes, directs the flow of the
universe, lurks behind its shapes and curves, holds the reins of
everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars. Love and Math is
also about accessing a new way of thinking, which empowers us to
better understand the world and our place in it. It is an
invitation to discover the hidden magic universe of mathematics.
Edward Frenkel is Russian born and overcame a discriminatory
educational system to become one of the twenty-first century’s
leading mathematicians. He is a professor of mathematics at the
University of California, Berkeley, which he joined in 1997 after
being on the faculty at Harvard University. He is a member of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of the American
Mathematical Society, and the winner of the Hermann Weyl Prize in
mathematical physics. Frenkel has authored 3 books and over 90
scholarly articles in academic journals and is an electronic music
aficionado. Frenkel’s research is on the interface of mathematics
and quantum physics, with an emphasis on the Langlands Program,
which he describes as a Grand Unified Theory of mathematics.
