Book Synopsis
Presents a collection of 180 mathematical puzzles and elementary problems that great mathematicians have posed, discussed, and solved. This book intends to show that famous mathematicians have all communicated brilliant ideas, methodological approaches, and absolute genius in mathematical thoughts by using recreational mathematics as a framework.

Trade Review
“The whole book is very well illustrated with diagrams and pictures as well as clear mathematical formulae making it very readable. …I would fully recommend the book. It does not require advanced mathematics but it would inspire curiosity to look further. There is valuable material for a teacher perhaps at Advanced level to introduce new topics by way of a puzzle or two. The book is also a good read for those interested in the history of mathematics and mathematicians.”
