This new edition provides an excellent initiation of students into some of the more challenging aspects of mathematics The study edition of The Mathematical Experience will help its readers acquire a real understanding of mathematics." -Notices of the AMS "Two distinguished mathematicians...have written a perfectly marvelous book about the Queen of Sciences, from which one will get a real feeling for what mathematicians do and who they are. The exposition is clear and full of wit and humor..." --The New Yorker (1984 American Book Award Edition)
