"aha! Gotcha" and "aha! Insight" are here combined as a single volume. The aha! books, as they are referred to by fans of the author Martin Gardner, contain 144 wonderful puzzles from the reigning king of recreational mathematics. In this combined volume, you will find puzzles ranging over geometry, logic, probability, statistics, number,time, combinatorics, and word play. Gardner calls these puzzles aha! problems. He explains that aha! problems "seem difficult, and indeed are difficult if you go about trying to solve them in traditional ways. But if you can free your mind from standard problem solving techniques, you may be receptive to an aha! reaction that leads immediately to a solution. Don't be discouraged if, at first, you have difficulty with these problems. Try your best to solve each one before you read the answer. After a while you will begin to catch the spirit of offbeat , nonlinear thinking, and you may be surprised to find your aha! ability improving." Studies show that persons who possess a high aha! ability are all intelligent to a moderate level, but beyond that level there seems to be no correlation between high intelligence and aha! thinking. So dig into some of the puzzles in this book, and prepare yourself for an aha! experience.

1914年生于美国俄克拉荷马州的塔尔萨，1936毕业于芝加哥大学哲学系。1957年，加德纳在《科学美国人》杂志上开设了一个数学游戏专栏，这个专栏一直延续了四分之一个世纪，成为杂志的一个招牌栏目。他的数学科普著作被翻译成多国文字出版。由于数学科普方面的贡献，他荣获1987年美国数学会斯蒂尔奖和1994年数学交流奖。
