If people want more like this, _Introductory Graph Theory_ by Chartrand is an enjoying and easy read. In fact it looks like Dover has all kinds of short treatments of math subjects suitable to the layperson. And if you don't know about Martin Gardner, you really must check him out! _The Colossal Book of Mathematics_ and _The Night is Large_ are both wonderful big collections, and there are tons of smaller sets of essays.
- ColinWright 14y agoI spent an afternoon one-on-one with Martin Gardner just a couple of months before he passed away. Fantastic man, wonderful to be with, and still sharp as anything at 95. Deeply missed - I so wish I'd got in touch with him earlier. Like 40 years ago.
