Recenzii
“This book, however, focuses almost exclusively on puzzles within recreational mathematics, and surveys a wide variety of them. The book’s title comes from the Ahmes Papyrus (also called the Rhind Papyrus), that contains some of the oldest known puzzles. One of the peculiarities of the problem-puzzle distinction is that is it time-dependent, because we develop new standard methods from working on particular puzzles.” (Allen Stenger, MAA Reviews, January, 25, 2019)
Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book looks at classic puzzles from the perspective of their structures and what they tell us about the brain. It uses the work on the neuroscience of mathematics from Dehaene, Butterworth, Lakoff, Núñez, and many others as a lens to understand the ways in which puzzles reflect imaginative processes blended with rational ones. The book is not about recreational or puzzle-based mathematics in and of itself but rather about what the classic puzzles tell us about the mathematical imagination and its impact on the discipline. It delves into the history of classic math puzzles, deconstructing their raison d’être and describing their psychological features, so that their nature can be fleshed out in order to help understand the mathematical mind.
