A fascinating and highly regarded book exploring the world of geometric dissections and recreational mathematics.
Written by Greg N. Frederickson and published by Cambridge University Press, this book delves into the art of cutting geometric shapes into smaller pieces and rearranging them to create entirely different shapes.
Featuring hundreds of illustrations, the book explores an incredible variety of mathematical puzzles, including transforming squares into triangles, polygons into stars and other ingenious geometric constructions.
Alongside the puzzles themselves, Frederickson explores the history of geometric dissections, introducing the mathematicians and puzzle enthusiasts who have contributed to the subject over the centuries.
A particularly interesting book for collectors and enthusiasts of mathematical puzzles, geometric puzzles and recreational mathematics. Equally appealing to puzzle designers, teachers and anyone fascinated by the beauty and ingenuity of geometric problem-solving.
An excellent addition to any serious mathematical or mechanical puzzle collection.
