Recenzii
From the reviews:
"This volume is an exciting autobiography of Goro Shimura … . The author relates not only his life and his significant mathematical achievements but also many aspects outside mathematics. The book is organized into four chapters … and an appendix. … The volume contains many personal feelings of the author towards the reaction of the mathematical community with respect to his work. … This book is certainly exciting for any reader interested in mathematics or Japanese civilization." (Doru Stefanescu, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 i)
“Goro Shimura, who was born in 1930, is famous for his work in algebraic geometry and number theory, extending over several decades. … the book gives an unusual insight into the mind of a famous contemporary mathematician and can be read with interest and, mostly, pleasure.” (Peter J. Giblin, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 94 (531), November, 2010)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
In this book, the author writes freely and often humorously about his life, beginning with his earliest childhood days. He describes his survival of American bombing raids when he was a teenager in Japan, his emergence as a researcher in a post-war university system that was seriously deficient, and his life as a mature mathematician in Princeton and in the international academic community. Every page of this memoir contains personal observations and striking stories. Such luminaries as Chevalley, Oppenheimer, Siegel, and Weil figure prominently in its anecdotes.
