Download or read book MATHEMATICAL RECREATIONS AND ESSAYS written by W.W. ROUSE BALL and published by Holistence Publications. This book was released on with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of seven chapters, in which are included var-ious problems and amusements of the kind usually called mathematical recreations. The questions discussed in the first of these chapters are connected with arithmetic; those in the second with geometry; and those in the third relate to mechanics. The fourth chapter contains an account of some miscellaneous problems which involve both num-ber and situation; the fifth chapter contains a concise account of magic squares; and the sixth and seventh chapters deal with some unicursal problems. The second part consists of five chapters, which are mostly histori-cal. They deal respectively with three classical problems in geometry—namely, the duplication of the cube, the trisection of an angle, and the quadrature of the circle—astrology, the hypotheses as to the nature of space and mass, and a means of measuring time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematical Recreations and Essays The book is divided into two parts, but in both parts I have excluded questions which involve advanced mathematics. The First Part now consists Of ten chapters, in which are described various problems and amusements of the kind usually termed Mathematical Recreations. Several Of the questions mentioned in the first five chapters are Of a somewhat trivial character, and had they been treated in any standard English work to which I could have referred the reader, I Should have left them out: in the absence Of such a work, I thought it better to insert them and trust to the judicious reader to omit them altogether or to skim them as he feels inclined.

Download or read book The Master Book of Mathematical Recreations written by Fred Schuh and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised for its "exceptionally good value" by the Journal of Recreational Mathematics, this book offers fun-filled insights into many fields of mathematics. The brainteasers include original puzzles as well as new approaches to classic conundrums. A vast assortment of challenges features domino puzzles, the game of noughts and crosses, games of encirclement, sliding movement puzzles, subtraction games, puzzles in mechanics, games with piles of matches, a road puzzle with concentric circles, "Catch the Giant," and much more. Detailed solutions show several methods by which a particular problem may be answered, why one method is preferable, and where the others fail. With numerous worked examples, the clear, step-by-step analyses cover how the problem should be approached, including hints and enumeration of possibilities and determination of probabilities, application of the theory of probability, and evaluation of contingencies and mean values. Readers are certain to improve their puzzle-solving strategies as well as their mathematical skills.

This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recreational mathematics is math carried out for entertainment, practice, and education rather than as a strict research and application-based trained activity. Even it is not necessarily limited to being an endeavor for beginners; it frequently involves mathematical puzzles and games. Several topics in this field require no knowledge of advanced mathematics, and recreational mathematics often appeals to children as adults, inspiring the further study of the science. Some of the more popular topics in recreational mathematics are fractals, logic puzzles, magic squares, and mathematical chess problems, but this section of math includes the aesthetics and culture of mathematics, including entertaining stories and coincidences about mathematics, and also the personal lives of mathematicians.

This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection of 39 short stories gives the reader a unique opportunity to take a look at the scientific philosophy of Vladimir Arnold, one of the most original contemporary researchers. Topics of the stories included range from astronomy, to mirages, to motion of glaciers, to geometry of mirrors and beyond. In each case Arnold's explanation is both deep and simple, which makes the book interesting and accessible to an extremely broad readership. Original illustrations hand drawn by the author help the reader to further understand and appreciate Arnold's view on the relationship between mathematics and science."--

Rouse Ball For nearly a century, this sparkling classic has provided stimulating hours of entertainment to the mathematically inclined. The problems posed here often involve fundamental mathematical methods and notions, but their chief appeal is their capacity to tease and delight. In these pages you will find scores of "recreations" to amuse you and to challenge your problem-solving faculties-often to the limit. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Download or read book Mathematical Recreations Essays written by W. W. Rouse Ball and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1974-12-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over eighty years this delightful classic has provided entertainment through mathematical problems commonly known as recreations. Although they often involve fundamental mathematical methods and notions, their chief appeal is as games or puzzles rather than the usefulness of their conclusions. This new edition upholds the original, but the terminology and treatment of problems have been updated and much new material has been added. There are new selections on polyominoes and the notion of dragon designs, and a new chapter, ‘Introduction to Combinatorics.’ Other topics dealt with in the fourteen chapters include arithmetical and geometrical recreations and problems, polyhedra, chess-board recreations, unicursal problems, cryptography and cryptanalysis, and calculating prodigies. Since no knowledge of calculus or analytic geometry is necessary to enjoy the recreations, this book will appeal widely to teachers of mathematics and students and to anyone who is mathematically inclined.
