| May 7, 2010 at 2:07 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | "I Want To Be A Mathematician" by Halmos is one of the all time classic books PERIOD.Any young student thinking about majoring in math needs to read it. I also find it very telling-and very disappointing-that the feud between he and Mac Lane that led to Halmos leaving the University of Chicago is never even mentioned in MacLane's book. You'd think he'd want to tell his side of it. Unless it happened exactly as Halmos said and MacLane thought he was above reproach for it. | |
