Abstract
Mathematics is often seen as a dry subject and distant from reality. In this lecture I will try to show how it is profoundly human and vibrant with creativity, highlighting some aspects that at first glance might seem not very mathematical. We will then see the social side of mathematicians, the tear-jerking stories and those of exciting achievements achieved even by those who are not professional mathematicians.
