Of all of Martin Gardner's writings, none gained him a wider
audience or was more central to his reputation than his
Mathematical Recreations column in Scientific American, which
virtually defined the genre of popular mathematics writing for a
generation. Flatland, Hydras and Eggs: Mathematical Mystifications
will be the final collection of these columns, covering a period
roughly from 1979 to Gardner's retirement as a regular columnist in
1986. The notable trend over Gardner's career is the increasing
sophistication of the mathematics he has been able to translate
into his famously lucid prose. These columns show him at the top of
his form and are not to be missed by anyone with an interest in
mathematics. As always in his published collections, Gardner
includes letters received from mathematicians and other commenting
on the ideas presented in the columns.
