For more than twenty-five years, Martin Gardner was "Scientific
American's" renowned provocateur of popular math. His yearly
gatherings of short and inventive problems were easily his most
anticipated math columns. Loyal readers would savor the wit and
elegance of his explorations in physics, probability, topology, and
chess, among others. Grouped by subject and arrayed from easiest to
hardest, the puzzles gathered here, which complement the lengthier,
more involved problems in "The Colossal Book of Mathematics," have
been selected by Gardner for their illuminating; and often
bewildering; solutions. Filled with over 300 illustrations, this
new volume even contains nine new mathematical gems that Gardner,
now ninety, has been gathering for the last decade. No amateur or
expert math lover should be without this indispensable volume; a
capstone to Gardner's seventy-year career.
