Martin Gardner is widely known for his writing on recreational
mathematics, not least for the myriad problems he has devised over
some 25 years for Scientific American. In this book are collected
36 of his best brainteasers. These are not simply cunning puzzles,
but serve to illustrate the art of the mathematician as problem
solver, and their solution draws on ideas from topology,
probability, number theory, logic and beyond. Fully worked answers
are given, which in turn lead to additional problems for the
reader. For anybody who likes to solve mathematical problems this
book will be both entertaining and a challenge.
