This is a book for nonbelievers of all ages. It was written especially for kids who have been convinced that mathematics is (1) impossible, (2) for those smart kids who can't play baseball, and (3) no fun anyhow. This book will also do wonders for TEACHERS, parents, or any adult who hates math. Here you will find several hundred mathematical events, gags, magic tricks and experiments. Don't miss this one! |

Develop "aha! Reactions": those sudden, creative leaps of the mind leading to short, elegant solutions to seemingly impossible problems. A confounding collection of brain-twisters in six categories: combinatorial, geometric, numerical, logical, procedural, and verbal. This book contains puzzles to first baffle and then delight both problem solving addicts and novices alike. |
