Название: Mathematical circles adieu (1977)
Автор: Eves H.
Аннотация:
Upon completion of the third trip around the Mathematical Circle {Mathematical Circles Squared), I fully intended not to make any more of these circuits. In the intervening five years, however, so many of the mathematical brethren sent me favorite anecdotes that they hoped would appear in a subsequent ramble, that I finally felt compelled to go around just once more. Herewith is the result— which I insist is my farewell to these pleasant wanderings. Again I point out that many anecdotes cannot survive a careful examination for veracity; they are to be regarded more as folklore than as truth. Someone once insightfully defined an anecdote as "a revealing account of an incident that never occurred in the life of some famous person."
