Martin Gardner (1914–2010) was an influential American science communicator and writer, known for popularizing recreational mathematics and promoting critical thinking. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and graduated in Philosophy from the University of Chicago. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy, and after the war, he worked as a freelance writer and editor.

His most notable legacy is his monthly column "Mathematical Games" in Scientific American, which he wrote for 25 years (1956–1981). Through this column, Gardner introduced the public to complex mathematical concepts through games, puzzles, and paradoxes, making accessible topics such as fractals, game theory, and cryptography. His clear and engaging style inspired generations of mathematicians and scientists.

In addition to his work in mathematics, Gardner was a critic of pseudoscience and irrational thinking. He wrote extensively on topics such as astrology, UFOs, and homeopathy, promoting skepticism and the scientific method.

Throughout his life, Gardner published more than 70 books, including works on magic, philosophy, and literature. His influence endures in the scientific community and in popular culture, being admired by figures like Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, and Douglas Hofstadter.

To commemorate his centenary, the University of Barcelona organized a virtual exhibition highlighting his contribution to the dissemination of mathematical and scientific knowledge.
