| Item Description: | Includes bibliographical references pages (289-296) and index From the mathematics of mazes, to cones with a twist, and the amazing sphericon - and how to make one - Ian Stewart is back with more mathematical stories and puzzles that are as quirky as they are fascinating, and each from the cutting edge of the world of mathematics. We find out about the mathematics of time travel, explore the shape of teardrops (which are not tear-drop shaped, but something much, much more strange!), dance with dodecahedra, and play the game of Hex, amongst many more strange and delightful mathematical diversions The lore and lure of dice -- Pursuing polygonal privacy -- Making winning connections -- Jumping champions -- Walking with quadrupeds -- Tiling space with knots -- Forward to the future 1: trapped in time! -- Forward to the future 2: holes -- black, white and warm -- Forward to the future 3: back to the past, with interest -- Cone with a twist -- What shape is a teardrop? -- The interrogator's fallacy -- Cows in the maze -- Knight's tours on rectangles -- Cat's cradle calculus challenge -- Glass Klein bottles -- Cementing relationships -- Knotting ventured, knotting gained -- Most-perfect magic squares -- It can't be done! -- Dances with dodecahedra |
