Synopsis
Combining mathematical puzzles with mind-blowing number facts, The Strange and Infinite World of Numbers introduces you to some of the incredible patterns that lie at the heart of our universe. These cover such curiosities as the fundamental constant of music, descriptions of unexpected lotto results, the so-called German Tank problem, and Einstein's most famous equation.
This book contains 34 ingenious conundrums relating to these patterns, some of which are unashamedly challenging. Tim Sole has been publishing puzzle books since 1988 and three of his titles have won the accolade of being Official American Mensa Puzzle Books. Test your mental agility and learn about some of the strangest patterns in mathematics with this hardback puzzle book.
