For those fascinated by the abstract universe of mathematics, David Gale's columns inThe Mathematical Intelligencer have been a prime source of entertainment. Here Gale's columns are collected for the first time in book form. Encouraged by the magazine's editor, Sheldon Axler, to write on whatever pleased him, Gale ranged far and wide across the field of mathematics but frequently returned to favorite themes: triangles, tilings, the mysterious properties of sequences given by simple recursions, games and paradoxes, and the particular automaton that gives this collection its title, the """"automatic ant"""". The level is suitable for those with some familiarity with mathematical ideas, but great sophistication is not needed. | Tracking the Automatic ANT by David Gale, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
