Reviews
"This is an excellent and entertaining little book... Every teenage mathematician and every school library should have a copy... a most entertaining read." --Symmetry Plus, "... this wonderful work is yet another 'must' for your bookshelf!... Well-known topics are not missing in the book, [readers] will always find something new and interesting in this book... each reader, whether mathematician or keen layman, will be delighted." --European Mathematical Society Newsletter, "... parts of this book are extremely funny... [It is] an ideal stocking filler... an ideal present for friends and relatives who are not mathematicians, but have enough curiosity to spend a gentle afternoon trying to find out what mathematics is about... Buy this book." --London Mathematical Society Newsletter, "There are more fascinating things in the book that cannot be described here. So, here is the message to all potential readers of this type of mathematical writing: even though you have doubtless read everything by Keith Devlin, Simon Singh, Martin Gardner, Raymond Smullyan, Lewis Carroll andyou-name-it, this wonderful work is yet another 'must' for your bookshelf!" --EMS 25/08/2004, "I was surprised to see how much substantial mathematics David Acheson has squeezed into this well-crafted litte book... Even mathematicians will find fresh perspectives on old themes in this playful and inventive book." --John Mighton, The Mathematical Intelligence, "... attractively produced ... The author has an easy, light style which should appeal to most readers." --The Mathematical Gazette 15/09/2004, Review from previous edition: "One of the happier effects of the explosion in popular science books is that every so often an author presents scientific ideas in a new way...Starting from such minimalist material, David Acheson works his way up to chaos and catastrophe. Not a page passeswithout at least one intriguing insight...This is a clever book, and anything but trivial...all mathmaticians should buy at least a dozen copies to hand out to people they meet at parties. My enthusiasm for it knows no bounds." --Ian Stewart, New Scientist, "...pages filled with a contagious enthusiasm... It has been produced with great care: at more than one point, one notices how artfully figures were placed. For example, at least twice a surprising conclusion appears just as we turn the page... This book packs a lifetime of wisdom and delightinto sixteen brief chapters." --MAA Online, Review from previous edition: '1089 and All That is an instant classic... an inspiring little masterpiece.' - Mathematical Association of America"Popular maths is not easy to do, but David Acheson has really achieved it with this pocket-sized gem of a book." - Brian Clegg, Popular Science, Popular maths is not easy to do, but David Acheson has really achieved it with this pocket-sized gem of a book.
