اپوکریفاهای ریاضی بازنگری‌شده: داستان‌ها و حکایات بیشتری از ریاضی‌دانان و ریاضیات

A companion to "Mathematical Apocrypha," (published in 2002) this second volume of anecdotes, stories, quips, and ruminations about mathematics and mathematicians is sure to please. It differs from other books of its type in that many of the stories are from the twentieth century and many about currently living mathematicians. A number of the best stories come from the author's first-hand experience. The writing is lively, engaging, and informative. There are stories the reader may wish to share with students and colleagues, friends, and relatives. The purpose of the book is to explore and to celebrate the many facets of mathematical life. The stories reveal mathematicians as intense, human, and sympathetic. They should resonate with readers everywhere. This book will appeal to students from high school through graduate school, to faculty and to mathematical scientists of all stripes, and also to physicists, engineer, and anyone interested in mathematics.
