"A select group of mathematicians, magicians, and puzzle experts pay homage to Martin Gardner, whose "Mathematical Games" columns in Scientific American and other contributions to the world of recreational mathematics have inspired their own work in that field. The articles collected in this volume are as varied as Gardner's interests, including care or magic tricks (with a mathematical trick behind them), the history behind given puzzles, mathematically interesting objects, and puzzles for the reader to solve."--Jacket.
