Mathematical Cranks - Spectrum
Dudley, Underwood (DePauw University, Indiana)
A delightful collection of articles about people who claim they have achieved the mathematically impossible (squaring the circle, duplicating the cube); people who think they have done something they have not (proving Fermat's Last Theorem) and people with very eccentric views (thinking that second-order differential equations will solve all problems of economics, politics and philosophy).
