| book description |

This revised and enlarged sixth edition ofÂ Proofs from THE BOOKÂ features an entirely new chapter on Van der Waerdenâ€™s permanent conjecture, as well as additional, highly original and delightful proofs in other chapters. From the citation on the occasion of the 2018 ""Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition"" Â â€œâ€¦ It is almost impossible to write a mathematics book that can be read and enjoyed by peopleÂ of all levels and backgrounds, yet Aigner and Ziegler accomplish this feat of exposition with virtuoso style. [â€¦] This book does an invaluable service to mathematics, by illustrating for non-mathematicians what it is that mathematicians mean when they speak about beauty.â€ From the Reviews ""... Inside PFTB (Proofs from The Book) is indeed a glimpse of mathematical heaven, where clever insights and beautiful ideas combine in astonishing and glorious ways. There is vast wealth within its pages, one gem after another. ... Aigner and Ziegler... write: ""... all we offer is the examples that we have selected, hoping that our readers will share our enthusiasm about brilliant ideas, clever insights and wonderful observations."" I do. ... "" Notices of the AMS, August 1999 ""... This book is a pleasure to hold and to look at: ample margins, nice photos, instructive pictures and beautiful drawings ... It is a pleasure to read as well: the style is clear and entertaining, the level is close to elementary, the necessary background is given separately and the proofs are brilliant. ..."" LMS Newsletter, January 1999 ""Martin Aigner and GÃ¼nter Ziegler succeeded admirably in putting together a broad collection of theorems and their proofs that would undoubtedly be in the Book of ErdÃ¶s. The theorems are so fundamental, their proofs so elegant and the remaining open questions so intriguing that every mathematician, regardless of speciality, can benefit from reading this book. ...""
