Beschreibung

This book convenes a selection of 200 mathematical puzzles with original solutions, all celebrating the inquisitive and inspiring spirit of Nobuyuki ¿Nob¿ Yoshigahara ¿ a legend in the worldwide community of mathematical and mechanical puzzles. A graduate from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yoshigahara invented numerous mechanical puzzles and published over 80 puzzle books. In 2003, he was honored with the Sam Loyd Award, given by the Association for Games & Puzzles International to individuals who have been made a significant contribution to the world of mechanical puzzles.

In this work, the reader will find some of the most ingenious puzzles ever created, organized in ten categories: Logic, matchstick, maze, algorithmic, combinatorial, digital, number, geometric, dissection, and others. Some of them could rivalry with those found at Mathematical Olympiads tests around the globe; others will work as powerful brain teasers for those with an interest in [...] teachers, curious students of any age and even experienced mathematicians with a taste for the fun in science can find in this book unconventional paths to develop their problem-solving skills in a creative way.

Über den Autor

Solomon Golomb (1932-2016) was a world leader in the development and application of mathematics for communications and coding theory. He received the National Medal of Science in 2011 in recognition of his pioneering work in shift register sequences. His remarkable career encompassed not only research contributions across a wide spectrum of science and technology, but also a gift and enthusiasm for recreational mathematics. He popularized polyominoes and published various long-running puzzle columns. In all areas of mathematics, Golomb was known for his enthusiasm and deep insight, which he shared generously through his teaching and mentoring.
Andy Liu is Professor Emeritus of the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Alberta, Canada. He has won numerous international awards in mathematics teaching and outreach, with a career-long involvement in mathematics competitions and math circles. His previous titles include an array ofengaging, problem-oriented books.
