One aspect: "It is interesting that many of the mathematicians in this book had Asperger syndrome. We know that genes have multiple effects, and we hypothesize that the genes that produce the social deficits of Asperger syndrome are also involved in producing great mathematical ability. Examples in this book are Lagrange, Poincaré, Cauchy, Galois, Riemann, Cantor, Hilbert, Ramanujan, Fisher, Wiener, Dirac, and Gödel." (p 9) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
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.
