What does style mean in mathematics? Style is both how one does something and how one communicates what was done. In this book, the author investigates the worlds of the well-known numbers, the binomial coefficients. The author follows the example of Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style. Offering the reader 99 stories in various styles. The book celebrates the joy of mathematics and the joy of writing mathematics by exploring the rich properties of this familiar collection of numbers. For any one interested in mathematics, from high school students on up.

The exercises are lucidly written; there is much beautiful mathematics to learn and enjoy.

-- Debra K. Borkovitz, Mathematics Teacher

By examining and extending binomial coefficients from seemingly every possible direction, the author provides an amazing concoction of ideas, prompting readers to say "Wow, I forgot that connection," or "Wow, I did not know that," or just "Wow!..McCleary's effort is exceptional, as it reaches into the realm of élan, clearly demonstrating the energy and enthusiasm that can pervade mathematical writing and mathematics itself.
