Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This book is without a doubt the most enjoyable, stimulating book of mathematical physics (and occasionally more pure branches of maths) puzzles that I have ever read. It’s essentially a series of cleverly, and occasionally fiendishly put-together mathematics and physics challenge questions, each of which gets you thinking in a new and fascinating way."
---Jonathan Shock, Mathemafrica"Reading Nahin is like reading through a select library of ancient Babylonian mathematical clay tablets. Surprises abound. . . . Nahin weaves much colorful history into his narrative."
---Andrew Simoson, Mathematical Intelligencer"Engaging. . . . The book contains a wealth of original problems. . . . An enjoyable read."
---Antonín Slavík, Zentralblatt MATH"This reviewer found himself being drawn to a variety of unfamiliar settings with much interest and even fascination." * Choice *
"I certainly enjoyed [the book]!"
---Alan Stevens, Mathematics Today"The potential audience for this book should be fairly large and go from highly talented high school students up through professionals in any STEM field."
---Geoffrey Dietz, MAA Reviews
