'The physical form of this new title is pleasing, including good
paper, readable font, and durable binding ... The book is not a
collection of practical ideas. Rather, it is intended for those
curious about pure mathematical tidbits. The flavor is light, as
opposed to pedantic. Among the numerous books of this type, this
title is significantly better than most. It should be considered
for private collections and for libraries that can afford to serve
a small, unique readership.Summing Up: Recommended. General
readers.'CHOICEThis book demonstrates to the general audience that
mathematics can be entertaining and fun, rather than the sad
reputation it has gained over decades from uninspired school
instruction that is often devoid of enrichment or motivational
considerations.The book is designed in such a way that a reader
will need almost no special preparation in mathematics, but to
recall some of the most basic concepts that were taught at the
lower-secondary-grade level.Yet, by the same token, the book will
hopefully open up doors for those less motivated in mathematics -
to interest readers to investigate some of the topics presented and
thereby enhance their knowledge of mathematics - something most
general readers will not initially find possible, but we hope will
be an end product of this book.
