Rezension

"An impressive compendium of challenges and puzzles to engage the reader, Playing with Infinity: Turtles, Patterns, and Pictures is unique, fascinating, informative, and especially recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Mathematics, Number Theory, and Geometry collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists."

-Paul Vogel, Midwest Book Review

"[This book] could enhance a discrete mathematics course, be used to propel an independent study project, inspire someone's mathematical art, or be read by a learner who wants to return to mathematics after some time away."

-Notices of the American Mathematical Society
