![]() ![]() Due to his popularity beyond the scientific fields, he has been the spokesman of the French mathematics community in the media and politics. In addition to that, he has received the European Mathematical Society Award (2008), the Henri Poincaré Prize (2009) and the Fermat Prize (2010), among others. ![]() ![]() The tone is read almost like an adventure narrative, presenting portrayals of some of the greatest names in the history of mathematics with equations that draw a fascination from everyone interested in mathematical topics.Ĭédric Villani, born in 1973, won the Fields Medal in 2010 – the most important award in mathematics, often called the “Nobel for mathematics”. It is the history of the genesis of a mathematical breakthrough. Entry is free.Īpproaching mathematical theories and concepts, Birth of a Theorem: a Mathematical Adventure is also a book that helps us understand the daily life of a researcher. The release will take place at Teatro Nacional D.Maria II, at 6:30 PM, and will be followed by a discussion with Villani, physicist and professor Carlos Fiolhais and physicist and mathematician Jorge Buescu. One of the most brilliant mathematicians today, Cédric Villani, has come to the LEFFEST to present his book Birth of a Theorem: a Mathematical Adventure, published by Gradiva. ![]()
