Mathematicians on Creativity
Peter
Borwein, Peter Liljedahl, and Helen Zhai, Editors
Spectrum
This
book aims to shine a light on some of the issues of mathematical creativity. It
is neither a philosophical treatise nor the presentation of experimental
results, but a compilation of reflections from top-caliber working
mathematicians. In their own words, they discuss the art and practice of their
work. This approach highlights creative components of the field, illustrates
the dramatic variation by individual, and hopes to express the vibrancy of
creative minds at work. Mathematicians on Creativity is meant
for a general audience and is probably best read by browsing.
