The cast of characters includes Albert Einstein, Norbert Wiener, Julian Lowell Coolidge, Maurice Fréchet, Nathan Altschiller-Court, G. H. Hardy, and many other interesting figures whom he encountered in a long and active life in mathematics. In Mathematical Reminiscences we read of Eves' famous mathematical museum, with its lock of Einstein's hair, Hardy's scarf, Veblen's bright yellow lead pencil, Wiener's hat, and much, much more.MAA spectrum.MathematicsAnecdotesMathematics510Eves Howard1911-2004,46127UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910823191103321Mathematical reminiscences4017635UNINA
