The Math Book by Clifford Pickover



Good news. Hooray! "The Math Book" is finally restocked at Amazon, after the 1st printing sold out in Sept!

The gossip is that the publisher did not anticipate demand and thus did not print sufficient copies. The publishers were worried to have extra copies of books in warehouses that they would rather run out 15 days after the publication date then take the risk, which is what happened. Today, it is finally back in stock at Amazon.com

  1. Martin showed me this book when I was visiting with him! I went out and was able to get it at B&N that weekend! It was heavy to bring home with me on the plane but well worth it! A beautiful book!
