Description



Book Synopsis



Martin Gardner's Mathematical Recreations columns in "Scientific American" virtually defined the genre of popular mathematics writing for a generation. In this, the final collection of these columns, covering the few years before his retirement from the magazine in 1986, he once again uses his famously lucid style to bring cutting- edge mathematical ideas within the grasp of the lay reader. This book will delight Gardner's legions of fans as well as anyone with an interest in mathematics.
