Fascinating Mathematical People: Interviews and Memoirs ReviewThis book is a series of interviews of several of the leading lights in mathematics over approximately the last half century. While most interviewees were prompted to give some details of their personal lives, the bulk of the conversation concerns their role in mathematics and how they personally view the discipline. A large percentage of the more interesting factoids were uttered by the women mathematicians, all were old enough to have "grown up" mathematically at a time when women faced systemic gender bias. Most of the interviews were originally published in journals and there are many photos.The people interviewed are:
*) Lars V. Ahlfors
*) Tom Apostol
*) Harold M. Bacon
*) Tom Banchoff
*) Leon Bankoff
*) Alice Beckenbach
*) Arthur Benjamin
*) Dame Mary L. Cartwright
*) Joe Gallian
*) Richard K. Guy
*) Fern Hunt
*) Dusa McDuff
*) Donald G. Saari
*) Atle Selberg
*) Jean Taylor
*) Philippe Tondeur
There is a great deal about the philosophy of mathematics and the role it plays in science and society, some recapitulation of past success and lot about the role family members can and do play. To a large segment of the American population, mathematicians are perceived as being outside the norm. In some ways that is true, but in this book it is clear that they are first and foremost people that encounter and deal with the same problems that everyone else does.
