Recenzii

'Martin Gardner's fifteen volumes about mathematical games are the Canon – timeless classics that are always worth reading and rereading.' Don Knuth
'Gardner is a model teacher of mathematics, pushing others to take interesting side explorations, solve challenging problems, and enjoy the beauty of mathematics. This reviewer applauds the republication of his genius in 'The New Martin Gardner Mathematical Library' series, complete with revised explanations, new insights, up-to-date reference links, and brief surveys of recent discoveries … it is worth getting the new editions and sharing these new gems!' J. Johnson, Choice
'I recommend you approach this book on a Sunday afternoon, with paper and pen, a few biscuits for brain-power and a good hour to spare for puzzling. It is worth it.' Charlotte Mulcare, + plus Magazine
