User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This excellent collection of math games by the Polymath maestro himself Martin Gardne is worth every penny. A lot of these are from his Scientific American articles that appeared a few decades ago. So it’s great to have them all in one volume, and a bonus, a lot if the games have additional ruminations and suggestions gathered between the time they first appeared & then published in this volume.

⭐My husband’s a huge Gardner fan, and was very happy with this book.

⭐I loved reading Martin Gardner’s books since I was a kid. Unfortunately, though packed with mathematical curiousities, I found the present book a drag to read. Some chapters were particularly dry and others just too mechanical. The addenda to each chapter, trying to beat each topic to death, detract from the flow of the book. There are some nice problems in there, but you may want to skip some sections altogether.

⭐Gardner weaves the magic of mathematics again in this awesome math “thriller”. After ‘Time Travel’, this is the second book I read, and I think Gardner does a wonderful job of going about math in a non-boring way. At some points of time, I had difficulty understanding whether I am supposed to be a complete novice or an advanced student, hence the 4 stars.
