These mathematical recreations, clearly and cleverly presented by Martin Gardner, delight and perplex while demonstrating principles of logic, probability, geometry, and other fields of mathematics. Hexaflexagons, Probability Paradoxes, and the Tower of Hanoi is the inaugural volume in Martin Gardner's New Mathematical Library. This book of the earliest of Gardner's enormously popular Scientific American columns and puzzles continues to challenge and fascinate readers. Now the author, in consultation with experts, has added updates to all the chapters, including new game variations, mathematical proofs, and other developments and discoveries.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 340gAuthor: Martin GardnerGenre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: New Martin Gardner Mathematical LibraryRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
