This is the autobiography of Walter Kurt Hayman. Born in Germany in
1926, he came to Britain in 1938 to escape the Nazis. Educated at
Gordonstoun School in Scotland and Cambridge, he was influenced by
Mary Cartwright and J. E. Littlewood. He was elected to the Royal
Society in 1956 and appointed Professor of Pure Mathematics at
Imperial College, London. For over 30 years there he ran a
world-famous school in Complex Analysis. He then spent 10 years at
York before returning to Imperial College, where he is a Senior
Research Fellow. He has received many prizes, awards and honorary
degrees. Twice widowed, he now lives in Gloucestershire with his
third wife, Marie. He gives a frank account of a life dominated by
mathematics, music, friendship, family and service. There are 15
photographs, and a full list of his 218 publications to date. An
index lists all persons mentioned in the text. This paperback
edition is designed to be as affordable as possible. A hard-cover
edition is also available.
