ab: Summary: Mathematics is full of surprises and beauty. In this article, the
    author discusses three favourite topics that he finds both amazing and
    amusing: (1) the problem of the possibility of subdividing a rectangle
    into a number of different squares; (2) the arrangement formed when
    several soap bubbles meet; and (3) circles and spheres. (ERIC)
