Mathematical Circles Revisited: A Second Collection of Mathematical Stories and Anecdotes (Eves Series in Mathematics)

In this follow-up to his successful "In Mathematical Circles", Howard Eves once again presents a witty and insightful collection of stories pulled straight from contemporary and ancient mathematical history. Eves threads his way around the human element of mathematics--with the historical and cultural folklore that takes math beyond numbers--and introduces you and your students to a side of mathematics you may never have known existed.
