What is I Want to Be a Mathematician : an Automathography about?

<p><B>From the reviews&#58;</B> "...this is a fascinating addition to recent mathematical culture by one of its makers. The main message i absorbed from it was a set of conditions required for success in mathematics&#58; talent, yes; single-mindedness, almost as obvious; sense of humour, essential when the going gets tough; and love, yes that is the right word - you must love mathematics, and that means all the ingredients, passion, pain and loyalty." <I>The Mathematical Gazette#1</I>"The book is written in a very personal, but plain and honest way, result of reflected experience and mature self-assessment of a wise man. It avoids palliation as well as exaggerated modesty.- It should be a document for history and sociology of science." <I>(R. Fischer) Zentralblatt f&uuml;r </I> <I>Mathematik#2</I></p>
