    He stimulates, challenges, and delights his readers. Answers are provided for problems, as well as references for further reading and a bibliography. The Postscript provides updates to the problems.Martin Gardner published his first book in 1935. Since then he has charmed, puzzled, and delighted countless reader. He is best known for the "Mathematical games" column that he edited for Scientific American for twenty-five years and from which much of the material in this book was drawn.He has published more than forty books including a novel, The Flight of Peter Fromm, and his Why of a Philosophical Scrivener. He has received many honors, among them an honorary doctorate form Bucknell University and prized for his science and mathematical writing from the American Institute of Physics and the American Mathematical Society. He is an honorary member of the Mathematical Association of America. Also by Martin Gardner and available from the Mathematical Association of America are Riddles of the Sphinx and Other Mathematical Puzzle Tales, Mathematical Carnival, Mathematical Circus.

    The independence of the continuum hypothesis is the focus of this study by Paul J. Cohen. It presents not only an accessible technical explanation of the author's landmark proof but also a fine introduction to mathematical logic. An emeritus professor of mathematics at Stanford University, Dr. Cohen won two of the most prestigious awards in mathematics: in 1964, he was awarded the American Mathematical Society's Bôcher Prize for analysis; and in 1966, he received the Fields Medal for Logic. In this volume, the distinguished mathematician offers an exposition of set theory and the continuum hypothesis that employs intuitive explanations as well as detailed proofs. The self-contained treatment includes background material in logic and axiomatic set theory as well as an account of Kurt Gödel's proof of the consistency of the continuum hypothesis. An invaluable reference book for mathematicians and mathematical theorists, this text is suitable for graduate and postgraduate students and is rich with hints and ideas that will lead readers to further work in mathematical logic.

    . Written in clear, simple language, this authoritative guide is comprehensive for the professional, yet practical and easy to use for the do-it-yourselfer. Now revised and updated to include the requirements of the 1996 National Electrical Code, this 17th edition of Practical Electrical Wiring remains the best-selling how-to book in its field. It covers all the tools and materials, professional "tricks of the trade," and safety practices for virtually any home, farm, commercial, or small industrial wiring project. You can rely on this book for: A thorough discussion of the latest Code requirements and what they mean, including new requirements for Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters, grounding of ranges and ryers, wire fill tables for raceways, classification of hazard locations, and information on the new high-efficient Design E Motors; a full explanation of the principles for planning, layout, and installation for most wiring jobs; Complete requirements for overcurrent protection, grounding, and installation of all commonly used wiring methods. Filled with helpful examples, tables, and illustrations, this edition of Practical Electrical Wiring gives you recommended shortcuts, solutions to problems, and safety "musts" to help you do every job right the first time, with complete confidence.

    The methods and techniques of Grothendieck, which have so changed the character of algebraic geometry in recent years, are used systematically throughout. Thus the classical material is presented from a new viewpoint.

    Text covers introduction to inner-product spaces, normed, metric spaces, and topological spaces; complete orthonormal sets, the Hahn-Banach Theorem and its consequences, and many other related subjects. Includes detailed proofs of theorems, bibliography, and index of symbols. 1966 edition.

    (AM-54), Volume 54, will be forthcoming.

    It clearly and succinctly formulated the conceptual and structural insights which Noether had expressed so forcefully and combined it with the elegance and understanding with which Artin had lectured. This text is a reprinted version of the original English translation of the first volume of B.L. van der Waerden's Algebra.
