Book Synopsis


Trade Review
On the whole, this is an extraordinarily interesting book overflowing with (mostly) elementary non-routine mathematics. It's well-written and a pleasure to read. I've been keeping it on my desk for the ease of access; it's going to stay there for some while. I recommend it wholeheartedly to math instructors, teachers, and students, especially those who have only a slight interest in the subject. The book is bound to expand their horizons." - MAA Reviews
