Seduction is not just an end result, but a process - and in
mathematics, both the end results and the process by which those
end results are achieved are often charming and elegant.This helps
to explain why so many people - not just those for whom math plays
a key role in their day-to-day lives - have found mathematics so
seductive. Math is unique among all subjects in that it contains
end results of amazing insight and power, and lines of reasoning
that are clever, charming, and elegant. This book is a collection
of those results and lines of reasoning that make us say, 'OMG,
that's just amazing,' - because that's what mathematics is to those
who love it. In addition, some of the stories about mathematical
discoveries and the people who discovered them are every bit as
fascinating as the discoveries themselves.This book contains
material capable of being appreciated by students in elementary
school - as well as some material that will probably be new to even
the more mathematically sophisticated. Most of the book can be
easily understood by those whose only math courses are algebra and
geometry, and who may have missed the magic, enchantment, and
wonder that is the special province of mathematics.
