Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: Underwood Dudley’s *Mathematical Cranks* is a witty tour through the world of amateur mathematicians who have squared the circle, disproven Fermat’s Last Theorem, or discovered that the number 57 rules the American Revolution. From advocates of base-12 counting to those who pray in matrices, the book collects the eccentric, the obsessive, and the mathematically impossible. It’s a unique glimpse into the folk mathematics of those who refuse to let reality get in the way of a good theory.
