Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities
This book was about the cabinet of Professor Ian Stewart
with full of filings about interesting mathematical games, puzzles, stories and
facts about mathematics for those people who are really much in love with mathematics.
In his cabinet, you will find a lot of things that are relevant to mathematics
like logic, geometry, probability and the different problems associated with
math. There were also hidden keys to some theories like Fermat’s last theorem,
Poincare conjecture, chaos theory and the P=NP problem.
The cabinet of Professor Stewart consists of different
mystery that would test the mind of the mathematicians. Different kinds of
problems tested my ability in solving while reading this book with full of mathematical
computations and techniques in solving the problems. The puzzles, games and
stories that include problems can be found inside the cabinet of curiosities
since the unsolved problem were still hidden there, waiting for the right
person to unlock the answers.
I was amazed on how did Professor Stewart collect all of
these puzzles and games with answers at the end of the book. He really spend so
much time in creating this wonderful math book because this would help people
who are very dedicated in solving mathematical problems like those in the book.
If you think of it, there are problems that can really be related to
mathematical problems that would need some logic and a little bit of numbers. I
think this would help us in some problems of our daily lives. We can also use
this as a reference for future studies if we encounter the same kind of puzzle
at least we could refer to this book.
I would also like to recommend Stewart’s book to people
who have an inner ability in mathematics for them to learn more than what the
others are teaching them. I would promote that this book is very exciting and
you can learn a lot of things when you read it.
