The Clerk And The Accounts Department

Kurt Friedrich Gödel, Alan Mathison Turing, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman, Andrew John Wiles and John Forbes Nash; Six mathematicians and logicians whose stories are of the great romantic tales of mathematics. An account of triumph and tragedy, of men of genius who prevailed against incredible adversity and whose lives, in the case of two mathematicians cut short at the height of their powers. These men solved Fermat's last theorem, the Poincare conjecture, helped us better understand the Primes and infinite series, worked with the Allied forces to break the German Enigma, gave us Game theory and proved the incompleteness theorem, proving mathematics itself isn't enough to prove mathematics.
