<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">What is your favourite biography of a scientist or mathematician? I’m particularly interested in modern subjects and those who worked in computing/computer science. Ideally the book would cover the subject’s work in a reasonable level of
technical detail as well as their life and the broader context in which they lived and worked. <o:p class=""></o:p></p>
