A number of the best stories come from the authors 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mathematical Association of America (MAA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989389504565,"sku":"ByrdShop_0883855542","price":227.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780883855546_fb2e3394-e6f5-4ef0-8a95-175226728e38.jpg?v=1778864453","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mathematical-apocrypha-redux-more-stories-and-anecdotes-of-mathematicians-and-the-mathematical-spectrum-9780883855546","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
