Résumé

For many years, famed mathematics historian and master teacher Howard Eves collected stories and anecdotes about mathematics and mathematicians, gathering them together in six Mathematical Cirdesbooks. Thousands of teachers of mathematics have read these stories and anecdotes for their own enjoyment and used them in the classroom-to add spice and entertainment, to introduce a human element, to inspire the student, and to forge some links of cultural history. Through a special arrangement with Professor Eves, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is proud to reissue all six of the Mathematical Circles books in a three-volume edition.

The first two books were published to acclaim in 1969, as In Mathematical Circles (Volumes 1 and 2). They are bound together here as Volume I of the Mathematical Circles Collection. Mathematical Circles Revisited and Mathematical Circles Squared are bound together as Volume 2 of the Collection, and Mathematical Circles Adieu and Return to Mathematical Circles as Volume 3.

This three-volume set is a must for all who enjoy the mathematical enterprise, especially those who appreciate the human and cultural aspects of mathematics.

L'auteur - Howard Eves

Howard Eves spent most of his teaching career at the University of Maine at Orono, and more recently at Central Florida University.
