| Title | The mathematics of various entertaining subjects : research in recreational math / Jennifer Beineke and Jason Rosenhouse. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white, and colour) |
| Notes | Previously issued in print: 2015. |
| Summary | The history of mathematics is filled with major breakthroughs resulting from solutions to recreational problems. Problems of interest to gamblers led to the modern theory of probability, for example, and surreal numbers were inspired by the game of Go. Yet even with such groundbreaking findings and a wealth of popular-level books exploring puzzles and brainteasers, research in recreational mathematics has often been neglected. This work brings together authors from a variety of specialties to present fascinating problems and solutions in recreational mathematics. |
