This is the second edition of the French version of the wonderful well-known book “Proofs from the BOOK” by M. Aigner and G.M. Ziegler. It corresponds to the third English version and thus incorporates all the most recent changes of this book.

A suggestion: in the chapter on irrational numbers there is a proof (of course a nice one) of the irrationality of the number e 2 , this proof may be adapted at once to show that e is not a quadratic irrationality ...
