The Universe Speaks in Numbers 2: Graham Farmelo interviews Michael Atiyah

Science writer Graham Farmelo in conversation with Sir Michael Atiyah. In an interview with Graham last November, Sir Michael Atiyah described how he became a ‘quasi-physicist. Ten weeks later, Atiyah was dead. He was one of the most accomplished mathematicians of the past century: no one had done more in the past decades to discover close links between pure mathematics and fundamental physics. Undoubtedly a great mind, he was also an indomitable spirit. Based on Graham Farmelo's book The Universe Speaks in Numbers. https://www.faber.co.uk/9780571321803-the-universe-speaks-in-numbers.html
