What Members Thought
This book contains memoirs of a mathematician, Cedric Villani, a recipient of the Fields medal. Originally written in French, I read a version that has been translated into English. The translation seems to be excellent. VIllani collaborated with Clement Mouhot, to derive and prove a theorem related to Landau damping. This is not a pure-mathematics theorem. It is based on a real physical phenomenon that occurs in plasmas. So, it is of great interest to physicists, as well to mathematicians.

The words that accompany these pages are not of any help in understanding the equations.
