I’ve made occasional references to the book that I have been editing forever. Well, it has finally entered the home stretch:
The book is a companion volume to the 2013 MOVES Conference in recreational mathematics, organized by the Museum of Mathematics in New York. The publisher is Princeton University Press. It features seventeen papers, mostly based on presentations given at the conference. Be warned: this is not a trade book. Some of the papers are pretty formidable.
“MOVES” is an acronym for “The Mathematics of Various Entertaining Subjects.” Hence the name of the book. We have just made the last round of edits to the manuscript, and the book should be heading to the printer soon. We expect to have finished books in December.
It’s been a fun project, despite various frustrations and delays, and I’m quite proud of the book. The MOVES conference is meant to take place every two years, and the 2015 edition was held in August. Princeton University Press has asked Jen and me to do a second volume in the series, and it seems likely that that will happen. Given some of the mistakes made the first time around, we should know what to avoid this time!
