Absolutely fascinating from beginning to end."" - Ian Stewart, New Scientist

""This is a book rich in ideas. They seem to burst forth from almost every page … I suspect that the author's hope that ""even the experts will find some new enlightenment here"" will be realized."" - The Mathematics Teacher

""A very original book … The lectures are self-contained for the graduate reader … full of new ideas, and thus of real interest also to experts."" - Zentralblatt fur Mathematik
