Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. A gripping and tragic tale that sheds rare light on the unique burden of genius In 2006, an eccentric Russian mathematician named Grigori Perelman solved the Poincare Conjecture, an extremely complex topological problem that had eluded the best minds for over a century. A prize of one million dollars was offered to anyone who could unravel it, but Perelman declined the winnings, and in doing so inspired journalist Masha Gessen to tell his story. Drawing on interviews with Perelmans teachers, classmates, coaches, teammates, and colleagues in Russia and the United Statesand informed by her own background as a math whiz raised in RussiaGessen uncovered a mind of unrivaled computational power, one that enabled Perelman to pursue mathematical concepts to their logical (sometimes distant) end. But she also discovered that this very strength turned out to be Perelman's undoing and the reason for his withdrawal, first from the world of mathematics and then, increasingly, from the world in general.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. In 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute in Boston made an intriguing promise. If anyone could find a solution to one of the seven great unsolved mathematical problems, they would earn one million dollars. One man, an eccentric Russian mathematician named Grigory Perelman, stepped up to the plate and solved the complex Poincare Conjecture that has eluded the best minds in math for over a century. How he succeeded when so manyothers failed is the subject of Masha Gessen's intriguing book 'Perfect Rigor.' Gessen's book draws on interviews with Perelman's teachers, classmates, coaches, teammates, and colleagues to paint a captivating portrait of the genius.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. xi, 242 pages; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "In 2006, an eccentric Russian mathematician named Grigori Perelman solved one of the worlds greatest intellectual puzzles. The Poincare conjecture is an extremely complex topological problem that had eluded the best minds for over a century. In 1998, the Clay Institute in Boston named it one of seven great unsolved mathematical problems, and promised a million dollars to anyone who could find a solution. Perelman will likely be awarded the prize this fall, and he will likely decline it. Fascinated by his story, journalist Masha Gessen was determined to find out why. Drawing on interviews with Perelmans teachers, classmates, coaches, teammates, and colleagues in Russia and the US--and informed by her own background as a math whiz raised in Russia--she set out to uncover the nature of Perelman's genius. What she found was a mind of unrivalled computational power, one that enabled Perelman to pursue mathematical concepts to their logical (sometimes distant) end. But she also discovered that this very strength has turned out to be his undoing: such a mind is unable to cope with the messy reality of human affairs. When the jealousies, rivalries, and passions of life intruded on his Platonic ideal, Perelman began to withdraw--first from the world of mathematics and then, increasingly, from the world in general. In telling his story, Masha Gessen has constructed a gripping and tragic tale that sheds rare light on the unique burden of genius. / MASHA GESSEN is a journalist who has written for Slate, Seed, the New Republic, the New York Times, and other publications, and is the author of two previous books. She lives in Moscow." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible.
