5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully entertaining and enlightening, 24 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Game, Set and Math: Enigmas and Conundrums (Penguin mathematics) (Paperback)

This book gives the reader a chance to experience a wide variety of quite advanced mathematics, and interact with these topics through puzzles set for the reader. These topics are presented in a very reader friendly way, interwining the mathematics into quite humourous and entertaining stories. The book hides very interesting mathematics behind these stories, which also prompt the reader to think further. An excellent, well-crafted book.
