Chases and Escapes: The Mathematics of Pursuit and Evasion - Princeton Puzzlers Revised edition
Paul Nahin
We all played tag when we were kids. What most of us don't realize is that this simple chase game is in fact an application of pursuit theory. This book gives us the complete history of this area of mathematics, from its classical analytical beginnings to the present day.
