This program brings together six icons of intellect—mathematician John Nash, mathematical biologist Martin Nowak, mathematician Enrico Bombieri, mathematical physicist Freeman Dyson, cultural anthropologist Clifford Geertz, and pianist Robert Taub—who talk about milestones on their roads to success. In the process, they range far and wide, covering topics such as game theory, the evolution and cultural adaptation of language, the Riemann hypothesis, genetic engineering, nuclear-powered spacecraft, the ethnography of Southeast Asia and North Africa, Beethoven’s piano sonatas, and even the movie A Beautiful Mind. (57 minutes)
