Abakcus(@abakcus):If you want to see inside a mathematician's head, Roger Penrose's notebooks are all you need. Cayley algebra, black hole entropy, and calculator programs live side by side on the same page. Some of it marks the road to a Nobel Prize, and some of it looks like the doodles you make while stuck on the phone with a boring person.
