What could Caesar's general have in common
with multiplication and weights? Or a Russian waiter with factorials? Or
a temple in Hanoi with transposition? A Chinese emperor with Benjamin
Franklin and Albrecht Duerer?
This book is a collection
of stories from different countries. Each story sets the brain ticking,
encouraging problem-solving skills, with a high quotient of fun! And
each is followed by a simple explanation of the maths behind the
'magic', that dispels the esoteric haze from the subject and makes it
accessible.
A fascinating collection
about mathematics and the world, from a country that has been prominent
on the number map from ancient times.
