Abstract:
Weaving together mathematics, epistemology and autobiography, this book begins with a tribute to Leibniz and a guide to Greg’s favorite books, then presents Greg’s three favorite lecture transcripts, and last but not least tells the story of Greg’s unconventional life and research trajectory and ponders the mystery of creativity. Seventy pages, mostly
in English, with a foreword and a brief introduction in French intended for a Moroccan audience. The material in French was kindly provided by Réda Benkirane, a professor at UM6P, and author of the book La Complexité, vertiges et promesses. Cover illustration by Sophie Lenormand based on Greg’s talk at UM6P in Chapter 3.
