This set includes two humorous and quirky collections of mathematical morsels by Burkard Polster (YouTube's Mathologer) and Marty Ross—Putting Two and Two Together: Selections from the Mathologer Files and A Dingo Ate My Math Book: Mathematics from Down Under. The stories in both volumes were written for a general audience and cover current events, sports, and history all flavored with a distinctive bit of Australiana. Both books offer mathematical entertainment for curious readers of all ages and assume a minimum of mathematical background.
The American Mathematical Society must be congratulated on publishing a singularly amusing synthesis of cultural anthropology coupled with mathematical entertainment."" —Tushar Das, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
""Polster and Ross are masters of the genre this book represents: a cornucopia of offerings, from across the mathematical spectrum. Their articles are entertaining, captivating, and informative, and will appeal to everyone from interested amateurs to old pros. On top of all that, the prose is clear, concise and a lot of fun, happily with a charmingly Aussie flavo(u)r. Crack the spine and enjoy!"" —Michael Berg, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles
