Summary:

"At the MAA Summer MathFest in 2007, Peter Casazza, Steven Krantz, and Frank Morgan were invited to organize a special session entitled "The Psychology of the Mathematician." The avowed purpose of that event was to discuss what mathematicians think of themselves and what others think of us...As a consequence, MAA editor Don Albers invited us to produce a volume inspired by our special session."-- Preface.
