  • The Mysterious Mr. Graham

    Journal Article

    Two math puzzle books, published as originals (not reprints) by Dover in 1959 and 1968, were authored by someone named "L. A. Graham." Graham revealed very little of himself in either book, other than that he was the founder of a company (location unspecified) called "Graham Transmissions." Although clearly of a strong engineering/physics bent, Graham's math puzzles are astonishingly clever, and not just a few of them would challenge (at least for a while) many professional mathematicians. Here, Nahin details the mysterious life of I. A. Graham and his connection to Charles Mingus, the great jazz artist who died in 1979.
