"The book should be accessible to all reasonably numerate people, and provide pleasant browsing even for the expert. Readers who enjoyed Martin Gardner's classic Mathematical games columns will probably enjoy this book; it should definitely be in junior high school, high school, public and university libraries." (Robert Dawson, zbMATH 1446.00005, 2020)
"Seligman has written a mathematical book to be enjoyed by a wide audience. . If you are high school teacher and want to motivate your students . this text is for you. If you are a college teacher and want to spruce up your lectures with interesting . mathematical facts, this book is for you. Or, if you are a student and want to expand your knowledge of interesting applications of mathematics, then this book is also for you." (Computing Reviews, June, 2017)
"Seligman looks beyond the strict boundaries of mathematics, but his topics are very well chosen and he looks at them unable to deny his mathematics and computer science roots. The leitmotifs of the chapters include geometry, infinity, dimensions, skepticism, arts, politics, finance, paradoxes, the mind, life, and some others. Thus the variety is very diverse. . I think this is a wonderful collection of columns that will be appealing to any reader. . The whole collection it warmly recommended." (Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society, euro-math-soc.eu, May, 2016)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
