For some reason Hannan Fry is optimistic AI will get better at this (but then maybe her job depends on it?). Personally I think mathematicians have better things to do.

There’s a remarkable new book out about the life and work of Andreas Floer, entitled
The Floer Jungle,
co-written by writer Siobhan Roberts
(author of some great biographies of mathematicians)
and mathematician Helmut Hofer.
The story of Floer’s career and his work is a fascinating one.
The book is written at a mixture of levels,
starting out with some chapters explaining background at an easily accessible level,
but then moving on to the det…
