Summary
Vladimir Arnold (1937-2010) was one of the great mathematical minds of the late 20th century. He did significant work in many areas of the field. On another level, he was keeping with a strong tradition in Russian mathematics to write for and to directly teach younger students interested in mathematics. This book contains some examples of Arnold's contributions to the genre. ""Continued Fractions"" takes a common enrichment topic in high school math and pulls it in directions that only a master of mathematics could envision. ""Euler Groups"" treats a similar enrichment topic, but it is rarely.
