Chapter Chapter 13 in Why Prove it Again?, 2015, pp 187-200 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract I hope that the case studies in the preceding chapters have convinced the reader that the comparative study of alternative proofs is a worthwhile endeavor and that the informal criteria for distinguishing proofs described in Chapter 1 serve that purpose well. I hope too that some of the proofs discussed in those chapters will have been new to most readers, who will have found them to possess both intrinsic interest and pedagogical value.This final chapter highlights some other theorems whose proofs have been the subject of comparative studies by other scholars. In addition, some theorems whose alternative proofs appear to be worthy subjects for further investigation are indicated.
