Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A model of mathematical exposition. The quality of writing is consistently high: clear but not condescending, humorous, chatty, and a genuine pleasure to read.”
—Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews“The book shows how budding interest in mathematics can be fostered and developed.”
—Alexander Bogomolny, Cut the Knot“What I love about
The Joy of SET is that it is written in such a way that it can be read and enjoyed by both SET enthusiasts and someone that has never played SET before.”
—Sarah Carter, Math Equals Love“As the authors convincingly demonstrate . . . the mathematics behind SET actually goes
very deep."
—Brent Yorgey, Math Less Traveled“
The Joy of SET uses a popular and very simple card game as a springboard for a whirlwind tour through probability, combinatorics, finite geometries, and experimental mathematics. Whether or not you play SET, you’ll find a lot of great math to play with in this book.”
—Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking
