Return to Mathematical Circles: A Fifth Collection of Mathematical Stories and Anecdotes (Prindle, Weber & Schmidt series in mathematics)

After receiving letters of outcry when he tried to end his popular "Mathematical Circles" series, Howard Eves put together this "Return to Mathematical Circles", another collection of mathematical tales. From the story of Newton's original bed to a remarkable factorization, Eve's second collection of 360 stories will help you give your students a new understanding of mathematics' place in history and in their everyday lives. This book will undoubtedly be as as useful to teachers at all levels of mathematics as have been the previous "Circle" books.
