Martn Gardner (1914-2010)

Martin Gardner, whose columns in Scientific American, a magazine that has gone downhill since he left, introduced me to so many incredible mathematical concepts, has passed on at the age of 95.

Sleep well, sir.

Gardner was also a pretty big deal in the skeptic community. I remember reading "Science: Good, Bad, and Bogus" almost 30 years ago. A great book (and one of many) from a great guy.
