About the Author/作者介绍： David Wells先生于1940年出生在英格兰的布里斯托尔市。打孩提时候起，他就对数学产生了浓厚的兴趣并且在18岁那年，以全额奖学金的身份保送全球顶尖学府——剑桥大学攻读数学专业，却在毕业时未获得学位。之后，他成为了一名数学老师, 中途转行做过游戏开发师等职业，最后成了一名作者,专门编写有关数学和谜题破解类的图书, 当然, 他偶尔也会发表一些关于大众文化、经济学和政治学方面的文章——基本上描写了时下人们意识形态在日常生活中所扮演的不同角色。

David Wells was born in Bristol, England, in 1940. He was mad about maths as a child and got a scholarship to Cambridge University to study maths but failed his degree - a rare achievement. He then became a maths teacher, then a professional puzzles composer and game inventor, and finally an author, of books on maths and puzzles, naturally, though he has also written on culture in general and economics and politics - basically writing about the role of ideology, everywhere.
