Review :
"Thought-provoking yet not overwhelming, this book makes the author's pleasure in mathematics evident. " -Library Journal "witty and intriguing" -- -Science News "Readers will relish this book. The focus is to explain math in a lively, revealing manner. It succeeds!" -- -The Bookwatch "Pappas writes at a level that puts all her topics within reach of any mathematics teacher and usually within reach of a generalist as well. In spite of this, she does not skim over facts or misrepresent them. If you haven't bought Pappas' first two books, then get them. If you have them, buy this one as well." - --The Mathematics Teacher
