   No n'hi ha cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. While also not as engaging for me as some of his other books, it was still fun. The bibliography is stunning - I do not know how he managed to not only read so much, but have access to so many rare sources in a pre-Internet age. (  ) Razinha | May 23, 2017 |  This book is just a collection of some of Martin Gardner's Scientific American 'Mathematical Recreations' columns. In other words, it's pure gold. I would read the back of a matchbook if Gardner wrote it, because I know that I would (a) learn something new and amazing, and (b) be engagingly entertained in the process. If you like math, science, puzzles, and great writing, buy this book. And all of Gardner's others. (  ) airship | Jul 7, 2006 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Seasoned with Gardner's interest in the history and philosophy of science, this delightful book is a treasure-trove of puzzles, anecdotes, games, and logical theory. These intriguing problems, collected from Gardner's Scientific American columns, involve knots, interlocking rings, rotations and reflections, logical paradox, two-dimensional universes, chess strategies, and gambling odds. "Gardner conjures problems that are both profound and silly; exquisite truths and outrageous absurdities; paradoxes, anagrams, palindromes and party tricks. . . . He knows, better than most, how many amazing true things there are in the world."—Newsweek No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
