Opis

Games and beauty are found in the origin of a major part of mathematics. It mathematicians throughout history have had such a good time playing and contemplating their games and their science, why not try to learn mathematics and pass it on through games and beauty? That is the fundamental idea which underlies the stories and games presented in this book. It seeks to present certain mathematical developments that could seem imposing in a way that anybody can understand and contemplate with pleasure.
