Rezensionen

I Want to be a Mathematician: An Automathography von P.R. Halmos

I really enjoyed this book because Halmos focuses a lot on the events/interests he has on the periphery of mathematics. A lot of mathematician's autobiographies are extremely math-centric, focusing only on the events building up to finding an important result. This book provided a more holistic perspective on the life of a mathematician. Topics discussed range from getting distracted by poker and billiards during his graduate career to very candid descriptions of his feelings towards not getting granted a fellowship during graduate school. It read like a slice-of-life anime, which I love.

Naive Set Theory (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) von P. R. Halmos

This text shows its age -- it's heavily wordy and pretty light on presenting things in mathematical notation. Although I have never formally studied set theory, I didn't get much out of it, though it did serve to reinforce my knowledge of some of the algebra behind sets.

I have a photographic memory von Paul R. Halmos

Being a book of photographs, usually informal, of mathematicians at work and play by noted practitioner and amateur photographer Halmos. The book is very charming and the captioning is a good brief introduction to where each of the subjects' interests lie.

I Want to Be a Mathematician: An Automathography in… von Paul R. Halmos

I don't think my words of praise would do justice to this wonderful book. Halmos has strong opinions almost about everything and the way he talks about his examples are very wise. You don't need to be a would-be mathematician to enjoy the book. If you have ever wondered or invested some time in the world of mathematics, science and academia, Halmos provides you a very good account. If you are more than interested in math or maybe thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. this book will be much more valuable for you.

There are so many parts to be quoted from the book but I prefer to start a Wikiquote page for Halmos and pour sentences there. Halmos may not be one of the greats (according to his words) such as Euler, Gauss, Riemann, etc. but he is probably the greatest writer of such books.

All along the book I had a feeling: it was more like a frank and witty dialogue between me and the great mathematician (and lecturer) who had been there and done that. I kept on asking questions and Halmos kept on giving answers.

Thank you Mr. Halmos, for having wanted to be a mathematician, having been one of the best and having written such a nice book on what it was all about.… (mehr)
