Approximately fifty articles that were published in The Mathematical Intelligencer during its first eighteen years. The selection demonstrates the wide variety of attractive articles that have appeared over the years, ranging from general interest articles of a historical nature to lucid expositions of important current discoveries. Each article is introduced by the editors. …The Mathematical Intelligencer publishes stylish, well-illustrated articles, rich in ideas and usually short on proofs. …Many, but not all articles fall within the reach of the advanced undergraduate mathematics major. … This book makes a nice addition to any undergraduate mathematics collection that does not already sport back issues of The Mathematical Intelligencer.
