For many decades, Martin Gardner, the Grand Master of mathematical
puzzles, has provided the tools and projects to furnish our
all-too-sluggish minds with an athletic workout. Gardner's problems
foster an agility of the mind as they entertain. This volume
presents a new collection of problems and puzzles not previously
published in book form. Martin Gardner has dedicated it to "all the
underpaid teachers of mathematics everywhere, who love their
subject and are able to communicate that love to their students."
Consider this: Robots will one day be able to write poetry and
prose so touching that it will make men weep; compose dozens or
even hundreds of symphonies that will rival the work of Mozart;
judge a court case with absolute impartiality and fairness; or even
converse with the natural ease of your best friend. Robots will one
day be so life-like that a human could fall in love and marry one.
Thought provoking and controversial? Certainly. Far-fetched? Not at
all. David Levy presents the history of Artificial Intelligence,
considers recent developments, and speculates about the future of
AI. A complete bibliography is available here.
Saunders Mac Lane was an extraordinary mathematician, a dedicated
teacher, and a good citizen who cared deeply about the values of
science and education. In his autobiography, he gives us a glimpse
of his "life and times," mixing the highly personal with
professional observations. His recollections bring to life a
century of extraordinary accomplishments and tragedies that inspire
and educate. Saunders Mac Lane's life covers nearly a century of
mathematical developments. During the earlier part of the twentieth
century, he participated in the exciting happenings in
Goettingen---the Mecca of mathematics. He studied under David
Hilbert, Hermann Weyl, and Paul Bernays and witnessed the collapse
of a great tradition under the political pressure of a brutal
dictatorship. Later, he contributed to the more abstract and
general mathematical viewpoints developed in the twentieth century.
Perhaps the most outstanding accomplishment during his long and
extraordinary career was the development of the concept of
categories, together with Samuel Eilenberg, and the creation of a
theory that has broad applications in different areas of
mathematics, in particular topology and foundations. He was also a
keen observer and active participant in the social and political
events. As a member and vice president of the National Academy of
Science and an advisor to the Administration, he exerted
considerable influence on science and education policies in the
post-war period. Mac Lane's autobiography takes the reader on a
journey through the most important milestones of the mathematical
world in the twentieth century.
