Best known for his mathematical and creative logic puzzles and games, he was also a concert pianist and a magician. He wrote over a dozen books of logic puzzles and texts on mathematical logic. <b>Raymond Smullyan: The Merry Prankster <br></b>Raymond Smullyan (1919-2017), mathematician, logician, magician, creator of extraordinary puzzles, philosopher, pianist, and man of many parts. The first Dover book by Raymond Smullyan was <i>First-Order Logic</i> (1995). Recent years have brought a number of his magical books of logic and math puzzles: <i>The Lady or the Tiger</i> (2009); <i>Satan, Cantor and Infinity</i> (2009); an original, never-before-published collection, <i>King Arthur in Search of His Dog and Other Curious Puzzles</i> (2010); and <i>Set Theory and the Continuum Problem</i> (with Melvin Fitting, also reprinted by Dover in 2010). More will be coming in subsequent years. <p><b><p>In the Author's Own Words: <br></b>"Recently, someone asked me if I believed in astrology. He seemed somewhat puzzled when I explained that the reason I don't is that I'm a Gemini." <p>"Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements: they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled 'wrong.'" -- Raymond Smullyan </p></p></p></p>
