Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-14 00:00:00 Andrew Cavanagh Tercera recopilación de los pasatiempos matemáticos de martin Gardner en el Scientific American. Muy entretenida, con mucha variedad y con dificultad desde asequible (algunos) hasta doctorado, dependiendo de la profundidad con la que nos queramos meter en cada problema. Una gozada.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-28 00:00:00 Victor Paragua If there were a mathematics of watching paint dry, Martin Gardner would make it interesting. Without peer as a popularizer of mathematics, he is equally adept at explaining all areas. This book, another updated collection of his Scientific American columns, is a twenty member set of polished pearls. Although somewhat mundane as a descriptive adjective, the word readable fits his writing like a custom made body stocking. Always interesting and entertaining, reading his essays is somewhat like eating tiny chocolate bars. You can't get enough, each seems too small, and there are no negative side effects.
