Proofs from THE BOOK is now 16 years old; this is the fifth edition. See our reviews of the fourth edition (2009) and the first edition (1998). Four new sections have been added this time: a proof of the classical spectral theorem in linear algebra, the impossibility of the Borromean rings, the finite Kakeya problem, and a proof of Minc’s permanent conjecture.
