Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments

Synopsis:

Describes puzzles involving time travel paradoxes, hexes, stars, cards, anamorphic art, magic squares, and polygons.

From coincidences that seem to violate the laws of time and space, to the perplexities of the rubber rope, to the centuries-old delights of tangram play, the puzzles, problems, and paradoxes presented in Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments reveal just how enlightening and entertaining mathematical recreations can be.

REVIEW:

Another Great Collection from Martin Gardner, October 15, 2000

Reviewer: \"zein\" (Athens, GA USA)

This book is another great collection of problems, discussions, and mathematical curiosities from Martin Gardner - and one of his best.

In this book, Martin Gardner has assembled an absorbing discussion on the theoretical aspects and possibility of time travel, including the many paradoxes that may arise; two problem collections to give to try out yourself and give to your friends; two chapters on tangrams and tiling each; along with 15 more chapters on interesting topics such as the melody-making machines, anamorphic art, block packing and more.

Particularly interesting are the chapters \"Six Sensational Discoveries\" and \"Dodgem and Other Simple Games.\" The former is a collection of six April Fool's jokes he published in April of 1975. The latter is an extensive and occupying discussion of simple games that one can play with friends, along with winning strategies for some and just mathematical theories for others.

I strongly recommend this book for those interested in mathematical curiousities and the likeness. It is especially interesting for children of ages 6-12; they may not understand everything, but certain chapters they will remember and revisit forever!

Thanks maxxum for this interesting book and for including MiHD mirror!

Amazon details:

The only problem with MiHD in Firefox I sometimes find is that left-clicking the "Download File" may cause the window to hang and you have to close the tab, hopefully not close Firefox completely. To get around this, left-click this link and select "Save link as..." or drag the link into FlashGet's DropZone. I don't use any other browsers, so can't comment on IE.

Other than this, MiHD is brilliant, take note you DepositFileheads.

No problems with IE + MIHD. Great book! Thank you!

maxand, that problem with MiHD happens because the file is a pdf and it is trying to load the pdf in the browser
