Lateral Solutions to Mathematical Problems de Desmond MacHale

Lateral Solutions to Mathematical Problems: AK Peters/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series

Autor Desmond MacHale
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2023
Lateral Solutions to Mathematical Problems offers a fresh approach to mathematical problem solving via lateral thinking. Lateral thinking has long been used informally by good mathematics teachers and lecturers to spice up their material and interest their students in the more artistic aspects of mathematical problem solving. In this book, the author attempts to carry out this process formally, with reference to specific, non-technical problems that are easily understood and explained at an intermediate level.
This book is appropriate for interested high school students, undergraduates and postgraduates, looking for relief from technical material and also looking for insight into the methodology of mathematics; for teachers and lecturers looking for a novel approach to course material; and anyone interested in both mathematics and lateral thinking.

Notă biografică

Desmond MacHale was born in 1946 in Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland. He earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mathematical Science at University College Galway. In 1972, he was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Group Theory at the University of Keele in the UK under the supervision of Dr. Hans Liebeck. He taught mathematics for forty years at University College Cork in Ireland, rising to the rank of Associate Professor. He has over a hundred research articles published in refereed mathematical journals and his interests lie mainly in abstract algebra (groups and rings) but he has also published articles on geometric dissections, number theory, Euclidean geometry, trigonometry and a book on mathematical humour (Comic Sections Plus). Both as a student and teacher, he has won many prizes for his work on the popularisation of mathematics. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at University College Cork.

In 1984 he set up the Superbrain Examination open to all students of UCC and later the Irish Intervarsity Mathematics Competition. He has written four biographical books on George Boole who was the first professor of mathematics in Cork from 1849 to 1864. These are George Boole His Life and Work (2014); New Light on George Boole (with Yvonne Cohen) (2018); The Poetry of George Boole( 2021); and Simply Boole (with Yvonne Cohen) to appear. In 2015 he was awarded an honorary doctorate in Literature by the National University of Ireland for his work on George Boole. He has written over a dozen books of Lateral Thinking puzzles with Paul Sloane and many other books of mathematical puzzles, riddles and jokes—over eighty books in all.
Among Des MacHale's other interests are Geology (in which he has a diploma), puzzles of all sorts, words, music especially classical and Irish, photography,
He believes that mathematics is like an infinite goldmine—the more gold you dig out, the more there is to find.
