   Extractions: Louis Mordell 's father was Phineas Mordell, a Hebrew scholar, and his mother was Annie Feller. Both Phineas and Annie were Jewish and had been born in Lithuania. Phineas had emigrated to Philadelphia in the United States in 1881 and there he had worked very hard, having jobs such as a nightwatchman during the night and as a teacher during the day while he earned the necessary money to bring his sisters and Annie, his wife to be, to the United States. Phineas and Annie had four sons and four daughters, with their son Louis being their third child. Louis became fascinated by mathematics while at grammar school. However he was essentially self-taught in the subject, buying second hand mathematics books from a bookstore in Philadelphia for five or ten cents when he was about 13 years old. These books presented many examples taken from the Cambridge tripos examinations and Louis soon came to look on Cambridge University in England as the place of highest mathematical learning. It became his ambition to study mathematics at Cambridge. When we wrote that Louis was "essentially self-taught" in mathematics we certainly did not wish to imply that he did not receive a good schooling, just that this schooling did little to introduce him to anything beyond elementary mathematics. He entered primary school at the age of 6 where he studied until he entered grammar school at the age of 12. Then, at age 14, he entered the Central High School in Philadelphia but he was already at an advanced level in mathematics even before began to study at this school which was, in fact, the oldest high school in the United States outside New England.

One may be an expert geologist, but he does not find the golden nuggets that the ignorant miner does.

    Extractions: Neither you nor I nor anybody else knows what makes a mathematician tick. It is not a question of cleverness. I know many mathematicians who are far abler than I am, but they have not been so lucky. An illustration may be given by considering two miners. One may be an expert geologist, but he does not find the golden nuggets that the ignorant miner does. Quoted in H Eves Mathematical Circles Adieu (Boston 1977). There are two reasons why I propose to make myself thoroughly and unashamedly happy by talking about myself. The first is that on several occasions, both in England and America, I have been told that I am a legendary character. When I was at Manchester, where there was a modern swimming pool, I was looked on as a great man, not for so trivial a reason as being an FRS, but because I used to dive off a five-metre board. In 1912 I attended an international mathematical congress held in Cambridge. I went into the buffet room where all the distinguished mathematicians were gathered and I thought to myself, "What an odd looking lot they are." All I remember about the examination is that there was a question on Sturm's theorem about equations, which I could not do then and cannot do now.
