Among many dozens of brilliant and
extremely popular books by Martin Gardner, the two
"Aha!" collections are quite outstanding, as they are
devoted entirely to "non-standard" challenges, or
challenges with "Aha!" effect. These are challenges
which seem to be difficult of even impossible to solve,
but have simple and clear (and often surprising) answers
and solutions...
This CD is quite remarkable in many
respects, and one of them is that nowadays it is the
most compact (in every senses) compendium in the field
of the recreational mathematics. Even more than that, it
is the entire collection of Martin Gardner's
Mathematical Games columns run in
Scientific American from 1957 to 1982...
Another big collection of Martin
Gardner's puzzles. It directly complements his previous
compendium,
The Colossal Book of Mathematics.
For this puzzle collection Martin Gardner chose 340
brightest puzzle gems, published in his legendary
Mathematical Games column run in
Scientific American...
For this ultimate collection Martin
Gardner selected fifty of his best Mathematical Games
columns he's been writing for
Scientific American for twenty-five years. They
are gathered into 12 broad categories covering a vast
spectrum of topics and themes of recreational
mathematics...
