Description:
David Gale's columns in The Mathematical Intelligencer have been a prime source of entertainment. Here Gale's columns are collected for the first time in book form. Gale's articles ranged far and wide across the field of mathematics but frequently returned to favorite themes: triangles, tilings, games and paradoxes, and the particular automaton that gives this collection its title, the "automatic ant." The book is suitable for readers with some familiarity with mathematical ideas, but great sophistication is not needed.
