Classic fun and games for math teachers and students! February 10, 2005
John Hancock (Denver, Colorado)
Originally from 1959 -- the era of the first game shows! -- a great concept of math as entertainment. This can be used for education purposes, homeschooling, or just plain fun for students already attracted to math.
"The subject matter ranges through mathematical history, symbols, circles, triangles, conic sections, units, measures, moneys, series, permutations, abbreviations, etc. Some of the posers will seem easy, others decidedly less so, some will amuse, others exasperate -- but none are dull."
CHAPTERS: Quickies, The Printer's Nightmare, Speedo, Simple-perhaps!, Are You At Home In Rome?, Easy Teasers, Crossfigure, The Triangle Test, Track the Term, Who Can It Be?, Teasers, Don't Run Around In These, Some Old and Some New, See and Perceive, Why Make It a Difficulty?, Spot the Mistakes, What's My Line?, Like But Unlike, A Mathematical Mixture, Find the Gentleman, Lighter Limericks, Brevity in Mathematics, Names, Things Ancient and Modern, Letters for Numerals, Arches, Why Be Anti-Logs .... many more.
Highly recommended for students of math, and a unique (collectible) gift for math professors!
