Michael Harris is a mathematician at Columbia University, where
he primarily works on number theory. He did his undergraduate
studies at Princeton and received his PhD from Harvard. Professor
Harris and I discuss the tragic figure of Alexander Grothendieck,
the allure of number theory, mathematics as an intrinsically
human endeavor, creativity in mathematics, and the relationship
between mathematicians and computers, including whether the
former will ever replace the latter.
