false 696238 1 <P>From the Reviews: </P> <P>"... Inside PFTB (Proofs from The Book) is indeed a glimpse of mathematical heaven, where clever insights and beautiful ideas combine in astonishing and glorious ways. There is vast wealth within its pages, one gem after another. Some of the proofs are classics, but many are new and brilliant proofs of classical results. ...Aigner and Ziegler... write: "... all we offer is the examples that we have selected, hoping that our readers will share our enthusiasm about brilliant ideas, clever insights and wonderful observations." I do. ... " <EM>Notices of the AMS, August 1999</EM> </P> <P>"... the style is clear and entertaining, the level is close to elementary ... and the proofs are brilliant. ..." <EM>LMS Newsletter, January 1999</EM></P> <P>This third edition offers two new chapters, on partition identities, and on card shuffling. Three proofs of Euler's most famous infinite series appear in a separate chapter. There is also a number of other improvements, such as an exciting new way to "enumerate the rationals".</P> 682557 13 11 2003 Proofs from THE BOOK total:15|5:8|4:6|3:1| 15 67 37 1 5 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 03 02:44:07 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 07 15:01:58 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 16:29:46 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 16:29:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 10:53:08 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 10:53:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 19:23:07 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 19:23:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 14:35:12 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 14:35:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 16:40:07 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 16:40:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Jul 11 22:38:34 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 22:38:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 15:17:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 15:17:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 07:33:46 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 07:33:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Apr 23 19:52:19 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 19:52:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 16:37:01 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 16:37:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 13 12:06:46 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 13:03:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 11:10:58 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 11:10:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 10:03:52 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 10:03:52 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 26 16:04:12 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 16:04:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 12:55:45 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 12:55:45 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 06 15:06:51 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 15:06:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Wed Dec 31 12:40:09 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 12:40:09 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Dec 03 22:46:09 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 22:46:11 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Nov 29 03:22:32 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 30 14:08:12 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=696238
