The Prince of Mathematics: Carl Friedrich Gauss
I enjoyed reading this book. I know that it didn't go into great detail about the mathematical discoveries, but it also showed that he wasn't just some mathematician locked away in a chamber doing math 24/7. I mean, yes, he certainly dedicated so much time and energy in his work, but he was a family man, and he dearly loved his wife and children. My heart went out to him when he didn't see his dad again after a few sad words. Anyway, no more spoilers. Enjoy!
