Excursions into Mathematics: The Millennium Edition by Anatole Beck

Since it was first published three decades ago, Excursions Into Mathematics has been one of the most popular mathematical books written for a general audience.

Excursions Into Mathematics: The Millennium Edition is an exciting revision of the original, much-loved classic. Everyone with an interest in mathematics should read this book.

Excursions into Mathematics Reviews

It is a cross between providing mathematical challenge and a cultural placement of some famous problems. I hope it will persuade non-mathematicians that mathematics is worthwhile, and provide mathematicians with some background to the personalities and history of the main stream, and, equally as important, to the quiet little-visited back-waters of their subject. -Tony Crilly, The Mathematical Gazette , March 2002
