He also had a long relationship with the Mathematical Association of America, publishing articles in MAA journals right up to his death in 2010. This book collects the articles Gardner wrote for the MAA in the twenty-first century, together with other articles the MAA published from 1999 to 2012 that spring from and comment on his work. 606 $aMathematical recreations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematical recreations. 676 $a793.74 701 $aHenle$b Michael$0725877 701 $aHopkins$b Brian$0994970 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464302803321 996 $aMartin Gardner in the twenty-first century$92279117 997 $aUNINA
