For many years Serge Lang has given talks to undergraduates on selected items in mathematics which could be extracted at a level understandable by students who have had calculus. Written in a conversational tone, Lang now presents a collection of those talks as a book. The talks could be given by faculty, but even better, they may be given by students in seminars run by the students themselves. Undergraduates, and even some high school students, will enjoy the talks which cover prime numbers, the abc conjecture, approximation theorems of analysis, Bruhat-Tits spaces, harmonic and symmetric polynomials, and more in a lively and informal style.

Industry Reviews

"This new book of its very prolific author is based on talks delivered by him at European and North American universities. It takes the form of simulated discussions: expositions are combined with students'questions and remarks. The material is chosen to be accessible with minimal prerequisites and of interest to a broad mathematically oriented audience. ... The text is written in a lively light style with an adequate degree of precision. Even for more advanced readers it provides pleasant reading, showing how to popularise mathematics."
