Synopsis: This book is not only about the history of mathematics, but also by telling the story of some of the most distinctive personalities in the history of mathematics, it goes on to reveal the various strange treasures, bright flowers and hidden passions of the mathematical kingdom. Some of these mathematicians were thinkers, writers, poets, musicians, painters, politicians, judges, soldiers, clerks, young men of society or even prisoners. The mathematical world constructed by these geniuses is exquisite, and a walk in such a world not only expands our mathematical horizons and imagination, but also raises our humanistic cultivation to a higher level. Written for general audience, this book will be of interest to anyone who's studied mathematics in university or even high school, while also benefiting researchers in mathematics and the humanities. The readers will also enjoy reading the beautiful and simple language of all the articles and interviews.
