First sentence: I don't know any subject other than number theory where one can give a talk on mathematics centered around major unsolved problems, but understandable with almost no background in mathematics.
Description: "For many years Serge Lang has given talks to undergraduates on selected topics in mathematics which could be extracted at a level understandable by students who have had calculus."--BOOK JACKET. "Written in a conversational tone, Lang now presents a collection of those talks as a book. The talks could be given by faculty, but even better, they may be given by students in seminars run by the students themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
