User’s Reviews

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

⭐I had Pedoe as a prof. at the University of Minnesota. His calm musings about mathematics in everyday life predate the wonderful books by John Allen Paulos and are easily as good. Each chapter presents a dissection of popular thinking on topics from randomness to topology. This book is available at a remarkably low price, well worth the full price.One note. The binding is adequate at best. I have worked my copies hard and have just bought a third.

⭐This is an oldish book by a gentleman mathematician of the old school. It can be appreciated by educated laypersons and scholars alike and is full of expected and unexpected treasures of insights and far views.
