This clear and winning little book, for readers willing to come to genuine grips with the idea of a mathematical proof, presents topology ... as mathematicians see it. One cannot any longer doubt that a single stroke of a knife exists that divides any irregular ham sandwich so that the ham and both bread slices can be shared with perfect fairness by two consumers. —Scientific American

Over 150 problems and solutions.
