What is so special about the number 30? How many colors are
needed to color a map? Do the prime numbers go on forever? Are
there more whole numbers than even numbers? These and other
mathematical puzzles are explored in this delightful book by two
eminent mathematicians. Requiring no more background than plane
geometry and elementary algebra, this book leads the reader into
some of the most fundamental ideas of mathematics, the ideas that
make the subject exciting and interesting. Explaining clearly how
each problem has arisen and, in some cases, resolved, Hans
Rademacher and Otto Toeplitz's deep curiosity for the subject and
their outstanding pedagogical talents shine through.
