I love analogies! (When I wanted to get into grad school, I chose to take the Miller Analogies Test verses the GRE. And I can tell you that there are math analogies on the MAT.) Besides being fun I think they are a great way to practice logical thinking. I am curious to see if there are higher level math analogy books available.
