Cedric Villani
Birth of an Idea: A Mathematical Adventure
What goes on inside the mind of a mathematician? Where does inspiration come from? In this lecture, Cedric Villani describes how he encountered obstacles and setbacks, losses of faith and even brushes with madness as he wrestled with a new theorem that culminated in him winning the most prestigious prize in mathematics, the Fields Medal. Cedric will be signing copies of his book after the lecture.
