像康托对角化一样偷偷溜进数学爵士主要的区别是，数学爵士乐以一种更轻松，更有趣的方式来处理这些主题。老实说，很少有违反直觉的观察让我感到惊讶，我已经在其他书中看到过很多，或者在数学课上听说过。例如，我已经知道，在一个45人的房间里，我应该期待两个人分享一个生日。然而，我对数学的新鲜处理方式印象深刻，我非常惊讶地对着一本数学书笑出声来。这本书充满了笑话，有些是好的，有些是坏的，甚至更好。数学爵士乐读起来很有趣。在我第一次翻阅这本书后，我发现自己被扑克牌，一堆剪好的莫比乌斯带和折叠的纸包围着，希望它是一个龙分形。我可以诚实地告诉你，当我在阅读我的任何其他数学书时，这种情况从来没有发生在我身上。我会把这本书（而且已经有了）推荐给数学光谱两边的读者。·
as Cantor diagonalization, sneak their way into Math Jazz. The main difference is that Math Jazz approaches these topics in a much more relaxed and, dare I say, fun way. To be honest, very few of the counterintuitive observations surprised me. I had already seen many of them in other books or had heard about them in math classes. For example, I already knew that in a room of forty-five people that I should expect two people to share a birthday. However, I was very impressed with the fresh way the mathematics was treated and I was very surprised to be laughing out loud at a math book. The book is filled with jokessome good and some so bad that they are even better. Math Jazz is a lot of fun to read. After the first time I flipped through the book, I found myself surrounded by playing cards, a pile of cut up Mobius bands, and folded paper wishing it were a dragon fractal. I can honestly tell you that this has never happened to me when I was reading any of my other math books. I would recommend this book (and already have) to readers on both sides of the mathematical spectrum. •
