5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for mathematicans *and* non-mathematicians, 2 Jul 1997

By A Customer

This is an excellent book that covers many areas of math. Each subject is covered in 1-4 pages making the book very easy to read, and useful to teachers as a resource for enrichment. This book may be too simple or "shallow" for some of the more serious mathematicians, but the fun feeling of the book makes up for it.

The book also includes many tie-ins to areas such as science, art, and other fields. Definitely worth reading, a MUST for the library of any middle or high school math teacher.

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth the money, 17 April 2009

By	sudarshana - See all my reviews

I am onot sure why such books are written in any case.there is no flow of thought from one topic to another and it will not make an attempt to explain the concept behind.Any street walker could write such a book and it does not take a genius of theoni's kind.Very disappointed.
