Since 1993 the World's foremost
mathematicians, puzzlers and magicians are regularly
gathering in Atlanta to attend the
Gathering for Gardner (G4G), the unique event
founded by Gardner fan and puzzle collector, Tom
Rodgers, and organizing with help of many enthusiastic
and talented folks deeply influenced by Martin Gardner's
work and life.
Getting together in Atlanta, all G4G attendees bring
with them some writings related to math, magic, or
puzzling, and prepared specially in honor of Martin
Gardner. Then these pieces are exchanged so that each
G4G participant brings home a vast compendium of modern
mind creations.
It is the first collection of G4G pieces gathered under
one cover, and published by
A K Peters, Ltd. in 1999. It collects 38 selected
papers -- mostly from the first Gathering for Gardner
(G4G1) and a few additional submissions.
