Description M. H Greenblatt, "Mathematical entertainments;: A collection of illuminating puzzles, new and old" Crowell | 1965 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0006BMUZQ | 160 pages | PDF | 2,7 MB from the Introduction: My reasons for writing this book may very well con- tain a clue for its understanding and enjoyment. First, there are a great many beautiful and elegant facts and proofs in mathematics, which are published in widely varying places, if at all. I would like to shout about these problems froln the housetops, but have chosen the more dignified, and probably more efficacious, method of writing a book about them. Second, many people consider mathematics to be a very boring, complicated subject. I hope to show that some facets of mathematics can be quite simple and in- teresting, although they are not obviously so at first glance. Third, some of the most beautiful solutions of prob- lems, of which I, alas, am not the originator, do not appear anywhere to the best of my knowledge. Related Torrents
