Portrait Gallery - A - M

The following images are to be used for educational/instructional purposes only. Those denoted by an asterisk * are supplied by the Dibner Library of Science and Technology, The Smithsonian Institution Libraries, and their usage must conform to the Library’s rules and standards. Those denoted by a # sign come from the David Eugene Smith Collection at Columbia University. Finally, those marked by a % sign are sketches drawn by Jemma Lorenat while she was a graduate student at Simon Fraser University. Note that portraits of mathematicians from earlier than the fifteenth century are only suggestive. We hope that readers will supply further portraits; contact the editors at convergence@maa.org.
