A must for those who love math. This book has attempted to provide a set of off beat, fun filled pages. Most of the mothers had a tough time explaining to their child that 11 is eleven and not oneteen and 12 is twelve and not twoteen. The early learner would have often wondered why of all bases this strange number 2.718… was chosen as natural logarithm base called, e. After all why is Mathematics left out of the Nobel Prize by the Academy? Did you know that only a few folds to a paper could take you to the moon? Binary system is okay but why the computer uses such a strange notation as AD45F3? A few brilliant logical and dissection puzzling stories with solutions are to be found here. The reader would find unbelievable things like there exists a triangle in the universe whose angles add upto more than 180o. What made 1729 the taxi number so famous? Some strange path can make a square tyred bicycle move smoothly. All this and more interesting stories are to be found in the book. This book is not organized like a textbook, it is collection of several thoughts, articles, brilliant number sequences and puzzles. These have been collected over years of “adventuring” in mathematics, with only love and passion. It is not for serious mathematicians, not for people who know too much and find the book no more than a carbon copy of their own reproductions. The author claims absolutely no originality in the work. The book should be read with a rough page and pencil, that’s the only way to enjoy it. Rajnish Kumar |
