5.0 out of 5 stars The ideal maths book for dipping into...
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2000
This is a beautifully produced book with very elegant proofs of theorems from a variety of areas. The proofs require little previous knowledge, but be warned: if you haven't got undergraduate mathematics then you will not find it easy to read. On the other hand, if you have then you will find this book truly delightful. Top marks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Proofs from THE book!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2000
An excellent book which looks at all branches of mathematics - graph theory, combinatorics, even logic. Contains some of the most spectacular proofs to math's most interesting conjectures. I highly recommend this book for any student interested in pursuing mathematics beyond high school. -I am sorry for my broken english, I speak French.

4.0 out of 5 stars original
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2000
This book was conceived as a tribute to Paul Erdos for his 85th birthday. It is clearly inspired by his aestetics and research interests. The proofs are from number theory, combinatorial geometry, inequalities, combinatorics and graph theory. The statements are very often easy to understand; for example "there always exists a prime number between n and 2n", "every set of more than 2^d points in R^d determines at least one obtuse angle". Theorems and proofs are chosen because of their simplicity and elegance, not their relevance to modern or past mathematics. The book is, graphically and stilistically, a gem.
Overall, this is great reading for mathematicians and mathematically literate readers alike. It's also a bit odd, since the book is neither a reference nor a textbook. The only criticism I have is not directed to the book itself. It would be much appreciated to have similar books, but focused on different topics. For example "probabilistic proofs from the book", or "topological proofs from the book".
