Book Description
Littlewood's Miscellany, which includes most of the earlier work as well as much of the material Professor Littlewood collected after the publication of A Mathematician's Miscellany, allows us to see academic life in Cambridge, especially in Trinity College, through the eyes of one of its greatest figures. The joy that Professor Littlewood found in life and mathematics is reflected in the many amusing anecdotes about his contemporaries, written in his pungent, aphoristic style. The general reader should, in most instances, have no trouble following the mathematical passages. For this publication, the new material has been prepared by Béla Bollobás; his foreword is based on a talk he gave to the British Society for the History of Mathematics on the occasion of Littlewood's centenary.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mathematical Miscellany, 1836 The Editor has the assurance of assistance from individuals whose names would be a suficient guarantee for the respectability of the work; and if he succeeds in establishing it, he has no doubt of enlisting in its aid much of the mathematical talent of the United States. He begs leave to commend his undertaking, in particular to gentlemen of the mathematical chairs in our colleges, with the suggestion, whether it might not be made a useful auxiliary in cherishing a spirit of science in their classes. Should this suggestion meet their view, there will be formed a distinct department adapted to this purpose; and pains will be taken to make this part of the work interesting, for it will be peculiarly gratifying to the Editor, if he can supply the means in any degree of fostering the emulation of American youth in a study which is peculiarly adapted to the enquiring mind, and whichis daily becoming of more practical importance to the country.
