''The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers'' is a reference book for recreational mathematics and elementary number theory written by David Wells. The first edition was published in paperback by Penguin Books in 1986 in the UK, and a revised edition appeared in 1997 (ISBN 0-14-026149-4). ==Contents== The entries are arranged in increasing order of magnitude, with the exception of the first entry on −1 and ''i''. The book includes some irrational numbers below 10 but concentrates on integers, and has an entry for every integer up to 42 (although the entry for 39 states, "This appears to be the first uninteresting number"). The final entry is for Graham's number. In addition to the dictionary itself, the book includes a list of mathematicians in chronological sequence (all born before 1890), a short glossary, and a brief bibliography. The back of the book contains eight short tables "for the benefit of readers who cannot wait to look for their own patterns and properties", including lists of polygonal numbers, Fibonacci numbers, prime numbers, factorials, decimal reciprocals of primes, factors of repunits, and lastly the prime factorization and the values of the functions ''φ''(''n''), ''d''(''n'') and ''σ''(''n'') for the first hundred integers. The book concludes with a conventional, alphabetical index.
