Review title: Why pick on special people?
Product review: Calling a great mathematician crazy and a speed/ drug addict isn't good. It doesn't advance mathematics.... Erdos was very nearly an Autistic Savant. His mother&#65533;s love and care saved him. A life that might have been spent in an institution became that of one of mathematic's all time greats. He wasn&#65533;t &#65533;perfect&#65533;, but he was unparalleled in history in his in long term productivity and his teaching on the individual level. For this he should be praised and not run down by the &#65533;facts&#65533; journalistically. Not all mathematics people are &#65533;crazy&#65533;. It takes a special kind of mind to appreciate some problems and solve them! Erdos was a very special person whose memory should be protected and not abused as this book does. This level of honesty does no one any good. I can not encourage the running down of the memory of great men: too much of that goes on these days.
