A book of a mathematician who explained the theory of solving difficult problems of mathematics to the general public was chosen as the grand prize of the book chosen by a major bookstore, and the award of exceptional commentary on mathematics has become a hot topic.
A major bookstore in Tokyo, Yaesu Book Center, selected a book that attracted attention that year as a grand prize based on readers' votes and so on, and explained the theory for solving difficult mathematical problems to the general public. I chose two books, such as “The Mathematical Impact of IUT Theory”.
On the night of the 22nd, an award ceremony was held and a bouquet of flowers was given to the author.
It is unusual for a book of mathematics to win a grand prize because there are many novels and non-fiction works in the prizes chosen by bookstores.
Is the content correct seven years ago that the professor at Kyoto University solved the problem of “ABC prediction”, one of the biggest challenges in mathematics? In light of the continuing situation where no conclusions can be made, I explain the points and details of this theory.
The number of copies is 20,000, which is a lot of this genre.
The author, Professor Fumimoto Kato of Tokyo Institute of Technology, says, "I want you to feel the depth of mathematics and the ordinary appearance of mathematicians."
