Approximately fifty articles that were published in The Mathematical
Intelligencer during its first eighteen years. The selection demonstrates the
wide variety of attractive articles that have appeared over the years, ranging
from general interest articles of a historical nature to lucid expositions of
important current discoveries. Each article is introduced by the editors.
..".The Mathematical Intelligencer publishes stylish, well-illustrated articles,
rich in ideas and usually short on proofs. ...Many, but not all articles fall
within the reach of the advanced undergraduate mathematics major. ... This book
makes a nice addition to any undergraduate mathematics collection that does not
already sport back issues of The Mathematical Intelligencer." D.V. Feldman,
