About this title

Synopsis

Mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike have long been fascinated by geometrical problems, particularly those that are intuitive in the sense of being easy to state, perhaps with the aid of a simple diagram. Each section in the book describes a problem or a group of related problems. Usually the problems are capable of generalization of variation in many directions. The book can be appreciated at many levels and is intended for everyone from amateurs to research mathematicians.

Synopsis

For mathematicians or others who wish to keep up to date with the state of the art of geometrical problems, this collection of problems that are easy to state and understand but are as yet unsolved covers a wide variety of topics including convex sets, polyhedra, packing and covering, tiling, and combinatorial problems.
