Recenzii
The book's goofy and unabashed enthusiasm will charm any interested teenager
interesting and illuminating...
Stewart has a genius for explanation ... Find a comfortable chair for some holiday puzzling: mathematics doesn't come more entertaining than this.
A dizzying new book
There is plenty here for the curious newcomer to enjoy
You don't need to be a maths guru . . . to enjoy his 'curiosities'
This is not pure maths. It is maths contaminated with whit, wisdom, and wonder.Ian really is unsurpassed as raconteur of the world of numbers. He guides us on a mind-boggling journey from the ultra trivial to the profound. Thoroughly entertaining.
'Stewart has served up the instructive equivalent of a Michelin-starred tasting menu, or perhaps a smorgasbord of appetisers. And of course, appetisers are designed to give you an appetite for more.'
Descriere
Full title: 'Professor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities'. Collecting several 'curiosities' of maths, this title covers the mysteries of Fermat's last theorem, the Four Colour Theorem, the Poincare Conjecture, chaos theory, complexity and the P/NP problem. It also includes discoveries about familiar names and concepts like Pythagoras, prime numbers, and permutations as well as anecdotes about mathematicians.
