Five More Golden Rules
by J. L. Casti
Critical Praise for Five Golden Rules "Five Golden Rules is caviar for the inquiring reader. … Casti’s gift is to be able to let the nonmathematical reader share in his understanding of the beauty of a good theory." —Christian Science Monitor "Casti is One of the great science writers of the 1990s. His new book ranges into exotic fields such as game theory (which played a role in the Cuban Missile Crisis) and topology (which explains how to turn a doughnut into a coffee cup, or vice versa). If you’d like to have fun while giving your brain a first-class workout, then check this book out." —San Francisco Examiner "I urge every reader of New Scientist to get this book." —New Scientist "This book has meat! It is solid fare, food for thought. … Casti’s Five Golden Rules makes math less forbidding and much more interesting." —Hartford Courant "With this volume, Casti has done more than his share of the professional duty of mathematicians. It is one more brick to be used in the construction of a mathematics that is cherished by all people." —Journal of Recreational Mathematics "An excellent exposition of five of the most interesting mathematical theories of the twentieth century that are still undergoing significant study." —Library Journal
