God Created the Integers is the latest outpouring by author and physicist Stephen Hawking, chronicling some 25 mathematical masterpieces that span 2,500 years and 15 acclaimed mathematicians from Augustin Cauchy to Alan Turing. This extensive anthology gives readers a chance to peer into the mind of these geniuses, providing them with excerpts of mathematical proof and results, as well as helping them to understand the process of mathematical thought, which has transformed the course of human history and now lies at the very heart of today’s technological foundations. The important signifances of these geniuses are explained in a thorough and clear manner by Hawking’s — an oft-proclaimed genius in his own right — well-written presentation.
