Martin Gardner's Sixth Book of Mathematical Diversions from "Scientific American"

Description

From the Introduction:
Ten years ago the writer of a mathematics textbook would have been considered frivolous by his colleagues if his book included puzzles and other entertaining topics. This is no longer true. Exercises in the first two volumes of Donald E. Knuth's monumental work in progress, The Art of Computer Programming (Reading:
Addison-Wesley, 1968, 1969), are filled with recreational material. There are even textbooks in which a recreational emphasis is primary. A delightful instance is Harold R. Jacobs's Mathematics: A Human Endeavor, subtitled A Textbook for Those Who Think They Don't Like the Subject (San Francisco: W. H. Freeman and Co.,1970).
Richard Bellman, Kenneth L. Cooke, and Jo Ann Lockett, authors of Algorithnzs, Graphs, and Computers (New York: Academic Press, 1970), write in their preface, "The principal medium we have chosen to achieve our goals is the mathematical puzzle."
