Do you ever find yourself wondering "Hey, who's that mathematician?" Well, wonder no more as this collection from the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) can provide answers to such a query. Noted mathematician Paul R. Halmos snapped hundreds of photographs of mathematicians he met around the world. Recently, these photos were digitized by the Archives of American Mathematics and they are being added incrementally to this site. Visitors can scroll through the photos here and read about each of these distinguished scholars, complete with some personal memories from their colleagues and the like. Also, users are encouraged to chime in with their own memories, thoughts, and possible corrections to dates or affiliations mentioned within each profile.
