When Albert Einstein died in April 1955, he left a small notebook among his many papers at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Its faintly gridded pages are covered with calculations. Some are tidy and unhurried. Others are hasty and incomplete. Some are annotated with a cryptic remark; others are unadorned. Some halt with a fragmented formula; others proceed mechanically to their conclusion. They come from another time and place, a silent trace of strenuous work from decades earlier and a continent away.1
