"I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in mathematics, including those mathematicians who want to experience again the excitement and surprise to be found in the study of mathematics."—Terence Morley, Mathematics Today
"This is undoubtedly one of the best popular mathematics books of recent years and it is strongly recommended, above all for teachers who would like to rekindle their enthusiasm for mathematics and as a gift for any teenager who loves the subject – as the title suggests."—Owen Toller, The Mathematical Gazette
"An accessible presentation of some of the most compelling and beautiful ideas of mathematics. Scheinerman demonstrates the diversity and liveliness of the subject in a friendly and inviting way."—Susan Jane Colley, Oberlin College and Editor, The American Mathematical Monthly
"A great read for anyone who wants to learn what math really is, no prerequisites required. And those of us in the field are reminded of what first drew us to it."—Maria Chudnovsky, Princeton University and 2012 MacArthur Fellow
"In this well-written book, the reader is taken on a fascinating journey across a broad landscape of beautiful mathematics."—Ron Graham, author of Magical Mathematics
"A first-rate mathematician and expositor, Scheinerman takes us on a guided tour of great mathematical ideas. Written with clarity and humor, The Mathematics Lover's Companion will appeal to a wide audience."—Arthur Benjamin, author of The Magic of Math: Solving for x and Figuring Out Why
"A clear and lively exposition that will entice non-mathematicians into the world of mathematics."—Anna Lachowska, coauthor of Beautiful, Simple, Exact, Crazy: Mathematics in the Real World
