Description
Mathematics is certainly the foundation of modern science, but that doesn't mean it has to be an overly serious discipline. Contrary to the opinion of many students, mathematical problems can be clever, inspiring, and very entertaining at the same time. The author of this book, Martin Gardner, was one of the best popularizers of recreational mathematics, entertaining readers of Scientific American for decades and managing to gather thousands of mathematical puzzles. The collection features problems from various fields of mathematics – playing with whole numbers, geometry in the plane and in space. Particularly popular are puzzles related to speed, money, or probability. There will also be various special tricks and humorous paradoxes.
