Alex van den Brandhof is a science writer and mathematics teacher. Jan Guichelaar is a retired theoretical physicist who remains active in the history of science. Arnout Jaspers is a freelance science writer.

…One appeal of the book for a student or novice mathematician is that the reader can start directly into these articles with very little mathematical background. But the articles have other strengths. The historical details provide a wonderful frame of reference for the reader and give a depth of human interest to the mathematics. Numerous mathematicians, artists, and craftsmen are discussed in conjunction with their mathematical interests. Overall, Half a Century of Pythagoras Magazine is very readable and appropriate for students and recreational puzzlers as well as for teachers looking for interesting historical examples for the classroom. The English translation is well done and just enough background is provided to allow readers to understand the problems without referring to external sources." - Tricia Muldoon Brown, MAA Reviews
