Dietmar Dath wrote
Höhenrausch. Die Mathematik des XX. Jahrhunderts in zwanzig Gehirnen.,
a fascinating book about 20th century mathematicians. The following mathematicians are covered in this book: Cantor, Hilbert,
Poincaré, Brouwer, Noether, Ramanujan, Gödel, Dirac, Turing, Kolmogorow, von Neumann, Dieudonné and Bourbaki,
Grothendieck,
Chaitin,
Thom, Bowman Robinson, Mandelbrot,
Witten, Wolfram, Dieringshofen.
If it contained at least some of the mathematics created by the mathematicians portrayed, it could have been brilliant.
The book contains the above illustration created by
Max Tegmark
for his
Theory of Everything
paper.
