My wife gave me this great book for Christmas:
Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality
by Edward Frenkel
It begins with the author's struggle to learn the math behind
quantum physics in spite of cold-war era soviet educational obstacles
and leads bit by bit into the Langlands program, drawing connections
between group theory, number theory and harmonic analysis.
It's definitely my favorite book of 2013.

- auctiontheory 13y agoYup. My thought as I read Love and Math a couple of months ago was "this would be great to give to a high school senior who is wondering whether to continue with mathematics." If you truly love doing math, you'll feel it when you read this book.
