What makes mathematicians tick? How do their minds process formulas
and concepts that, for most of the rest of the world's population,
remain mysterious and beyond comprehension? Is there a connection
between mathematical creativity and mental illness?
In The Mind of the Mathematician, internationally famous
mathematician Ioan James and accomplished psychiatrist Michael
Fitzgerald look at the complex world of mathematics and the mind.
Together they explore the behavior and personality traits that tend
to fit the profile of a mathematician. They discuss mathematics and
the arts, savants, gender and mathematical ability, and the impact
of autism, personality disorders, and mood disorders.
These topics, together with a succinct analysis of some of the
great mathematical personalities of the past three centuries,
combine to form an eclectic and fascinating blend of story and
scientific inquiry.
