For over twenty-five years, Martin Gardner s
legendary Mathematical Games column for
Scientific American challenged readers on sub¬
jects as diverse as probability, chess, and logic.
At once the inventor and provocateur of what
became known as recreational mathematics,
Gardner distilled complicated mathematical and
physical concepts into puzzles that both enticed
novices and challenged experienced math
lovers. Once a year Gardner s column would
present a handful of short and inventive puzzles
that ranged from the classic Was
wrong? to Steiner s Ellipses to the more
playful Toroidal cannibalism and Folding a
Möbius
Gardner s most anticipated as they reflected his
wit and scientific elegance in short and pleasing
mind-benders.
Grouped by subject and arrayed from easiest
to hardest, the
subject for the first time in book form, are the
highlights of Gardner s treasury of short prob¬
lems. In four delightful sections, Gardner covers
a wide gamut of mathematical topics, from such
classic combinatorics as mutilated chessboards
and bowling-ball pennies to engrossing geo¬
metric puzzles and algorithmic games, and finally
to cryptarithms, logic, and wordplay.
Among the most anticipated problems in The
Colossal Book of Short Puzzles and Problems are
the twelve new mathematical brainteasers, the
best and most engrossing problems out of the

(CONTINUED FROM FRONT FLAP)
hundreds that Gardner, now in his nineties, has
been gathering since he retired from Scientific
American in
most intriguing and entertaining problems to
appear in the last two decades, chosen by
Gardner himself.
For amateurs, for professional mathemati¬
cians, and for all those who enjoy a good brain-
teaser, this is an indispensable volume
charming stand-alone volume but also a com¬
panion book to Gardner s classic The Colossal
Book of Mathematics. The Colossal Book of Short
Puzzles and Problems is another milestone in
the remarkable career of the twentieth century s
most renowned popularizer of mathematics.
