Aus den Rezensionen:

Dieses Buch ... ist eine interessante Erganzung zum ersten Band. Wiederum weitet sich der Blick der Mathematik auf verschiedene Felder und hilft, Mathematik besser als Teil unserer Kultur zu verstehen. 19 Beitrage werden unter den 3 UEberschriften ... geboten ... und laden zu weiterfuhrenden Gedanken ein. (F. Schweiger, in: IMN - Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, 2008, Vol. 62, Issue 208, S. 67)
