This is a collection of Erik Seligman's blog articles from Math Mutation at MathMutation.com.  Erik has been creating podcasts and converting them in his blog for many years.  We have collected what we believe to be the most interesting among them, and have edited and organized them into a book that is often thought provoking, challenging, and fun.  

The book is about using math in unique ways; of analyzing things we observe in life and using proof to attain the unexpected.  There is quite a wide diversity of topics here and so all age levels and ability levels will enjoy the discussions.  Erik's unique viewpoint puts a mathematical spin on everything from politicians to hippos. Along the way, you will enjoy the different point of view and hopefully it will open you up to a slightly more out-of-the-box way of thinking. 

What You Will Learn:

To look at different problems in a different manner.
Different ways of viewing the world.
How mathematics can be applied to things you thought unimaginable.
How to abstract things that are not taught in school.  

Who this Book is For: 

The book is meant teens to geezers. It is great for teenagers and college level students who can gain from the many different ways of looking at problems and feed their interest in mathematics. Even mathematicians will enjoy the twists of point of view this book projects. Finally, it is for anyone with a bathroom.

Arvustused

The book should be accessible to all reasonably numerate people, and provide pleasant browsing even for the expert. Readers who enjoyed Martin Gardners 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)
