The New Martin Gardner Mathematical Library

The books based on Martin Gardner's enormously popular Scientific American columns and puzzles continue to challenge and fascinate readers. In these new editions, the author, in consultation with experts, has written updates to all the chapters, including new game variations, new mathematical proofs and connections to recent developments and discoveries. New diagrams and illustrations have been added and old ones improved and the bibliographies have been greatly expanded throughout.
