Opis: Mathematicians on Creativity - Peter Borwein, Helen Zhai, Peter Liljedahl

In their own words, many of the world's foremost mathematicians discuss the art and practice of their work in this book, which shines 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-calibre working mathematicians. This approach highlights the creative aspects of the field, illustrates the dramatic variation by individual, and hopes to express the vibrancy of creative minds at work. Organised alphabetically, this book is meant for a general audience and is best read by browsing. It can be used as a supplementary text in mathematics history and mathematics education courses.Introduction; Chapter A; Chapter B; Chapter C; Chapter D; Chapter E; Chapter F; Chapter G; Chapter H, Chapter I; Chapter J; Chapter K; Chapter L; Chapter M; Chapter N; Chapter P; Chapter R; Chapter S; Chapter T; Chapter U; Chapter V; Chapter W; Appendix A.
