Group Theory in the Bedroom, and Other Mathematical Diversions

One of the most accomplished essayists active today, Brian Hayes, uses computing and mathematics to explore everything from the deadly serious (war and peace) to the utterly frivolous (the mathematics of mattress flipping). He offers us a selection of his most memorable and accessible pieces - including "Clock of Ages" - embellishing them with an overall, scene-setting preface, reconfigured illustrations, and a refreshingly self-critical "Afterthoughts" section appended to each essay.
