«Another Fine Math You've Got Me Into...» is Ian Stewart's recreational mathematics book, published by Dover Publications in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The book brings together sixteen columns that Ian Stewart selected from Pour la Science, the French edition of Scientific American, where he contributed mathematical games. Each piece starts from a serious mathematical idea and presents it with eccentric characters, jokes and wordplay; the reader thus encounters concepts such as group theory while solving riddles and puzzles.
The work was originally published in 1992 by W. H. Freeman; this Dover edition is from 2004 and includes bibliographic references.
For those who enjoy mathematical puzzles and want to see abstract ideas presented in a playful way.
Ian Nicholas Stewart is a British mathematician and a popular-science, textbooks, and science-fiction books writer. He is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick, England.
