I have came across the name of this book while reading Bjarne Stroustrup's
interview at Dr. Dobb's magazine. (

)

Wikipedia has a short article regarding to him (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Polya)

He has smart quotes indeed. (I like the Pi mnemomic :) It seems to me this
math wiz had had a witty side, could have been a nice song character in one
of Tom Lehrer's song. By the way have you listened to his Lobachevsky?

I am planning to read this book. Have you read it? and if so, do you
recommend?
