This book traces the history of the MIT Department of Mathematics
one of the most important mathematics departments in the world
through candid, in-depth, lively conversations with a select and
diverse group of its senior members. The process reveals much about
the motivation, path, and impact of research mathematicians in a
society that owes so much to this little understood and often
mystifying section of its intellectual fabric.
At a time when the mathematical experience touches and attracts
more laypeople than ever, such a book contributes to our
understanding and entertains through its personal approach.
