Sinossi
L'ora di matematica era noiosa? Be'... forse perché non avevate Ian Stewart come professore! Fin da ragazzo Stewart ha raccolto le più istruttive e divertenti curiosità matematiche che non venivano insegnate a scuola. Ora questa bizzarra "collezione privata" è a nostra disposizione. Non abbiate paura a entrare nella sua piccola bottega: vi ci potrete tuffare a partire da qualsiasi pagina, e una volta entrati non vorrete più uscirne. Troverete gemme di logica, una spruzzata di geometria e alcuni strani risultati usciti da una calcolatrice proprio come quella che avete lì, di fianco a voi. Ancora, i problemi irrisolti più famosi, congetture, barzellette, aneddoti e i misteri del pi greco. Troverete, insomma, ciò per cui ogni lettore entra in libreria: nutrimento per menti curiose.

Recensioni
Nice booklet about many famous and less famous mathematical problems. Many of the puzzles are rather complicated, so it takes some time to fully grasp them in order to be able to appreciate the solution. This is not a book you easily read through from start to finish. It is more something to have on Leggi tutto
This is the second review of a trilogy, I'm reading in entirely the wrong order (book 3, then 1 here, and 2 to follow), so for me, this book is a predecessor to Professor Stewart's Casebook of Mathematical Mysteries. The format is very similar - a collection of factoids, logical puzzles, mathematica Leggi tutto
What a disappointment after FLATTERLAND! Professor Stewart seemed to have the devil's own time finding a balance that would appeal to fans of popular mathematics. Much of his CABINET OF MATHEMATICAL CURIOSITIES is positively pedestrian and, frankly, quite boring - riddles we've all heard before; hig Leggi tutto
Ένα βιβλίο για...μαθηματικούς και μάλιστα για τους λάτρεις της θεωρίας αριθμών, για αυτούς που ψάχνουν μαθηματικές αποδείξεις για όχι και τόσο καθημερινούς γρίφους, σίγουρα στις 300+ σελίδες θα βρεις αρκετά χρήσιμα κείμενα, αλλά από τα μέσα του βιβλίου το ...έργο εξειδικεύεται και προσπερνάς τις σκη Leggi tutto
Professor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities , Ian Stewart , 2009, ISBN 9780465013029, text pp. 1–249; solutions pp. 251–310. A lifetime’s collection of mathematical curiosities: properties of whole numbers, geometry, topology, logic. Also defines the big unsolved problems in mathematics for Leggi tutto
'The book has some serious problems' would be a compliment to this book! Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities lives up to its expectations, if not exceeds it by a margin. This is basically a popular Math book by popular science author Professor Ian Stewart. But the gamut of topics (or "curiosities" t Leggi tutto
A Fun book with lots to think about(if you can understand it)
A collection of puzzles and mathematical snippets, some old and familiar, and few going deep.
