Description: Martin Gardner
has had no formal education in mathematics, but he has had an enormous influence
on the subject. His writings exhibit an extraordinary ability to convey the
essence of many mathematically sophisticated topics to a very wide audience. In
the words first uttered by mathematician John Conway, Gardner has brought “more
mathematics, to more millions, than anyone else.quot; In January 1957, Martin
Gardner began writing a monthly column called “Mathematical Game? in Scientific
American.
He soon became
the influential center of a large network of research mathematicians withwhom
he corresponded frequently. On browsing through Gardner’s old columns, one is
struck by the large number of now-prominent names that appear therein. Some of
these people wrote Gardner to suggest topics for future articles; others wrote
to suggest novel twists on his previous articles. Gardner personally answered
all of their correspondence. Gardner’s interests extend well beyond the
traditional realm of mathematics.
