Synopsis
These clearly and cleverly presented mathematical recreations of paradoxes and paperfolding, Moebius variations and mnemonics both ancient and modern delight and perplex while demonstating principles of logic, probability, geometry, and other mathematical fields. "A classic."--Andrew Rothery, Times Education Supplement "Martin Gardner has turned a trick as neat as any in the book itself. He has selected a group of diversions which are not only entertaining but mathematically meaningful as well. The result is a work which is rewarding on almost every level of mathematical achievement."--Miriam Hecht, Iscripta Mathematica

First Sentence
FLEXAGONS are paper polygons, folded from straight or crooked strips of paper, which have the fascinating property of changing their faces when they are "flexed." Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 15 people found the following review helpful: A great introduction to the joys of recreational puzzles, 25 Aug 2000 By  "mark-parry" - See all my reviews This book is still as good as it was when I first purchased "Mathematical Puzzles and Diversions" in the 1970's. That's because it is the same book I bought then.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
