I recommend reading "The Man Who Knew Infinity". It's really devastating the way he died. It seems that a lot of math geniuses died premature. Eisenstein, Abel, Galois, Riemann.. I've read some of his work.. there are formulas appearing out of nowhere, like magic. He said that he saw them in his dreams. He had access to 1 book, basically, a collection of math theorems and that's it. Only 900 pages (IIRC) and the rest of the stuff he discovered (and re-discovered in some cases) on his own. Unparalleled genius!
