| Title | The mathematics of various entertaining subjects : research in games, graphs, counting, and complexity. Jason Rosenhouse and Jennifer Beineke. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white, and colour) |
| Notes | Published in association with the National Museum of Mathematics. Previously issued in print: 2017. |
| 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, research in recreational mathematics has often been neglected. This work now returns with a brand-new compilation of fascinating problems and solutions in recreational mathematics. It gathers together the top experts in recreational math and presents a compelling look at board games, card games, dice, toys, computer games, and much more. The text is divided into five parts: puzzles and brainteasers, geometry and topology, graph theory, games of chance, and computational complexity. |
