Acknowledgments
The authors wish to thank Steve Ross and Katie McHugh at Random House for their support of this book. Special thanks to Natalya St. Clair for typesetting the initial draft, which was partly supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
Arthur Benjamin especially wants to acknowledge those who inspired him to become both a mathematician and a magician—cognitive psychologist William G. Chase, magicians Paul Gertner and James Randi, and mathematicians Alan J. Goldman and Edward R. Scheinerman. Finally, thanks to all of my colleagues and students at Harvey Mudd College, and to my wife, Deena, and daughters, Laurel and Ariel, for constant inspiration.
