Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘ … packed with fascinating and beautiful results.’ R. J. Gardner, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
‘ … this beautiful book is written with care and is certainly worth reading.’ Wlodzimierz Bzyl, Mathematical Reviews
‘In 1985 Stan Wagon wrote The Banach-Tarski Paradox, which not only became the classic text on paradoxical mathematics, but also provided vast new areas for research. The new second edition, co-written with Grzegorz Tomkowicz, a Polish mathematician who specializes in paradoxical decompositions, exceeds any possible expectation I might have had for expanding a book I already deeply treasured. The meticulous research of the original volume is still there, but much new research has also been included.’ John J. Watkins, MAA Reviews
