Mathematical Models

"I first came across this book more than fifty years ago when I was still at school. It introduced me to a world of ‘fun’ mathematics, such as the different types of tessellation (tiling), the nets for making polyhedra, the sketching of interesting curves, and much else besides. It proved particularly valuable when I had to organise speech-day mathematical exhibitions for the visiting school parents. Even now, I sometimes go back and re-read it just for fun – and if mathematics isn’t fun, then it’s not worth doing!"
