Martin Gardner, 1998
Martin Gardner je bil najbolj kot znan pisec popularne znanosti in razvedrilne matematike. V reviji Scientific American je od leta 1956 do 1981 urejal rubriko Matematične igre (Mathematical Games). V njej je obdeloval različne teme, med drugim:
- fleksagon
- Conwayjeva igra življenja
- poliomine
- kocka soma
- igra hex
- tangram
- Penroseovo pokritje
- kriptoanaliza
- delo M. C. Escherja
- fraktali
Večino tem je kasneje izdal tudi v nizu knjig. Po letu 1981 je kolumno nadaljeval Douglas Hofstadter, naslov se je preimenoval v »Metamagical Themas«, anagram imena »Mathematical Games«.
Edino njegovo delo prevedeno v slovenščino je Aha! pa te imam : paradoksi za napenjanje možganov in razvedrilo (Aha! Gotcha - paradoxes to puzzle and delight) (COBISS)

(The Dover edition is a reprint of the original, titled The Mathematical Gardner, published by Wadsworth.) Discreetly assembled for the occasion, the stature of the mathematicians submitting papers is a testament to Gardner's importance.
