  abstract: Mathematical Journeys is designed for a mathematically interested audience and consists of separate essays and lectures on distinct topics. Each chapter works up to real and very interesting mathematic results and includes real mathematics: proofs, theorems, and conjectures. Many essays are based on lectures that the author has given throughout his career at Middlebury College and elsewhere.
