Q.E.D.: Beauty in Mathematical Proof by Burkard Polster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a beautiful, compact collection of largely visual proofs from series, and 2- and 3-D geometry. I especially appreciate the inclusion of fallacies as well as infinite summations. While most of this can be grasped with even solely a high school background, enough of it is worth consideration again and revisited for applying tools of mathematical logic in the same ways that worked for Archimedes and beyond.
