Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Fascinating. . . . Part philosophy, part maths, part activity book;
Games for Your Mind is an ingenious thing."
---Amy Barrett, BBC Science Focus"Excellent."
---Elizabeth Palmer, Christian Century"It’s a serious and at times technical book, specifically about logic puzzles, though beneath its concern with matters such as obversion and epistemic obligations it has an unexpected jauntiness."
---Henry Hitchings, Times Literary Supplement"Jason Rosenhouse’s
Games for Your Mind is an engaging popular mathematics book written to enlighten the reader on the mathematics and logic behind popular puzzles. . . .overall, the reviewer would recommend this book to all people who want a puzzling challenge. Although the puzzles towards the end of the book feel impossible, the thrill of that ‘ah!’ moment when you work through Rosenhouse’s solution is surely a high for any mathematician out there."
