Adventures of a mathematician

Preparing the list of reading for the summer vacation, I finally got a copy of Ulam’s autobiography. Mainly know for his contribution to the Manhattan project, Stanislaw Ulam may have been one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. Close friend to another giant—John von Newman—, Stanislaw contributions have affected a wide range of scientific disciplines. A friend recommended me this book a while ago. The book went into the must-read queue, but till yesterday it did not make it to the head :)
