Review

By examining and extending binomial coefficients from seemingly every possible direction, the author provides an amazing concoction of ideas, prompting readers to say "Wow, I forgot that connection," or "Wow, I did not know that," or just "Wow!..McCleary's effort is exceptional, as it reaches into the realm of élan, clearly demonstrating the energy and enthusiasm that can pervade mathematical writing and mathematics itself. --J. Johnson, CHOICE

The exercises are lucidly written; there is much beautiful mathematics to learn and enjoy. --Debra K. Borkovitz, Mathematics Teacher
