The companion volume to Fantasia Mathematica, first published in 1962, this second anthology of mathematical writings is even more varied than the first and contains stories, cartoons, essays, rhymes, music, anecdotes, aphorisms, and other oddments. Authors include Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Mark Twain, Lewis Carroll, and many other renowned figures. Like its predecessor, this wide-ranging collection will prove to be fascinating and entertaining reading for anyone with an interest in mathematics.
