World famous as the puzzle master who wrote the Mathematical Games column of Scientific American magazine for 25 years, Martin Gardner has also written close to 70 books on such subjects as science (including a book that Time magazine called by far the most lucid explanation of Einsteins theories), mathematics, philosophy, religion, poetry, literary criticism (including The Annotated Alice, a classic examination of Alice in Wonderland that is still selling large numbers of copies now, more than 30 years after it was first published), and, of course, puzzles (out of 29 puzzle books for adults and children, only one is out of print!).
The son of an Oklahoma wildcat oil prospector, Gardner attended the University of Chicago, where he received a degree in philosophy. After graduation he worked on the Tulsa (Oklahoma) Tribune. He sold his first story to Esquire, published articles on logic and math in specialist magazines, and became a contributing editor to Humpty Dumptys Magazine before starting his legendary column.
Martin Gardner has had a lifelong passion for conjuring, and many of his original magic tricks have become classics among magicians.
Dubbed The Magician of Math by Newsweek, Gardner, now retired, makes his home in North Carolina, where he continues to amaze his fans with more and more books, articles, and ideas.
