Vickie Kearn - Inspired by Math #8




Inspired by Math! show

Summary: Vickie Kearn is the executive editor at Princeton University Press (PUP). She is also responsible for the math books PUP publishes. More than that, Vickie is an enthusiastic voice for the popularization of math, and she has a special place in her heart for young women in mathematics. Vickie and I had a delightful conversation about how she finds interesting topics and writers, who the audience for PUP books is, PUP's greatest successes, the changing attitude of the public to popular math, Vickie's personal mission, and suggestions for summer reading.
