An entertaining romp through 4,000 years of mathematical mysteries. Internationally acclaimed popular math and science author Ian Stewart has outdone himself with this infinitely entertaining romp through 4,000 years of mathematical mysteries. To better convey his vision of the ""magical maze"" of mathematics, Stewart has, with characteristic whimsy, created a delightful maze of his own. And, as with mathematics itself, fresh wonders await readers at every turn in this crazy quilt of fun games, mind-boggling puzzles, fantastical parables, and fascinating yarns. From the temples of ancient Babylon to modern cryptology labs, Stewart ranges far and wide to bring us some of the best, most bedeviling math and logic problems of all time.
