Knowing that the most exciting math is not taught in school, Professor Ian Stewart wrote this book from the over flowing ideas from his cabinet of mathematical books with mathematical games, puzzles, stories, and factoids intended for the adventurous mind.
The book features the funny and exciting part of mathematical discoveries such as gems of logic, geometry, and probability;like how to extract a cherry from a cocktail glass (harder than you think), a pop-up dodecahedron, and the real reason why you can't divide anything by zero. Scattered among these are keys to Fermat's last theorem, the Poincar conjecture, chaos theory, and the P=NP problem.Stewart cabinet, gave me a delutional reviews on mathematics. I don't know how he wrote but sure he is clever.
He gave me nightmares and the desire to solve for more...... >:)
