    Spectrum
    Volume: 272000; 113 pp

    Mathematics can be fun for everyone, and this book shows it. It grew out of the author's popularisation of mathematics via live, call-in TV shows and widely published articles. The questions, comments, and even the answers here come largely from the callers and readers themselves, and so the book covers the kind of mathematical problems that people are interested in, not those that professional mathematicians, writers or even publishers think people should be interested in. The book makes no attempt to fit any mold. Although written by a research mathematician, it goes where the callers and readers have directed it, over a wide range of topics and levels. Everyone paging through it will be captured by something of interest, whether they consider themselves interested in mathematics or not.

    • I am continually amazed at the way the Mathematical Association of America continues to produce mathematics books of such fine quality. This...book in the Spectrum series is no exception. From its attractive, colorful cover to its fine quality paper and layout, not to mention its very interesting content, this book is a winner.
