Martin Gardner has
passed away...
It's so sad news and irretrievable loss to the whole
math-puzzle-magic community, to the World, and to
everyone who knew Martin Gardner, his books, his mind,
his philosophy, and his humor. He was a unique and
phenomenal Popularizer of Science and Teacher who has
taught how to love math and science.
I've been thrilled to read his books and grasp his
wisdom since my young ages. And I'm indebted to Martin
Gardner for every moments I knew him, for his friendly
and wise advices, and for opening to me many ways to
the puzzle universe.
Good-bye Mr. Martin Gardner.
