About this title

Review

"Frey and Singmaster give a nicely blended discussion of specific algorithms for the cube together with some underlying theoretical concepts from group theory. Thus, cubists will be able to cure their insomnia by reading chapter 3, and then perhaps satisfy their aroused curiosity about what is really going on by reading further" David M. Goldschmidt, Professor of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley

About the Author

David Singmaster is the top world authority on the mathematics of Rubik's Cube. He originated the notion system that is used throughout the world to communicate about the cube. An American by birth and citizenship, with a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, he is a Lecturer in Mathematical Sciences and Computing, South Bank University, London, England. His earlier book, Notes on Rubik's Magic Cube, is described by Scientific American as the "definitive treatise" on the subject. Alexander H. Frey, Jr. has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Washington and is a computer architect with IBM in the Washington D.C. area.
