1.0 out of 5 stars not my cup of tea, 14 Nov 2004
By megamarble "dlb008" (South Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I agree with the previous reviewer - this is not an easy read.

I have a degree in Maths from Manchester university and teach maths and even i though this was hard to follow.

I also thought it had a boring format and i didn't finish it - in fact i got bored after 30 pages

Not recommended - If you are looking for a popular Maths book try anything by Simon Singh (eg the code book), but think carefully before ordering this book.

Not recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting book, for the more mentally able!, 4 Dec 2003
By A Customer
The book goes through some of the best maths problems, and explains them too you after! Great if your looking for that challenge.
One of the best maths challenge books out there! But beware, this isn't trivial.
