Problem Solving Through Recreational Mathematics
ISBN: 9780486409177 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Historically, many of the most important mathematical concepts arose from problems that were recreational in origin. This book takes advantage of that fact, using recreational mathematics problems, puzzles and games to teach students how to think critically. Encouraging active participation rather than just observation, the book focuses less on mathematical results than on how these results can be applied to thinking about problems and solving them.
Each chapter contains a diverse array of problems in such areas as logic, number and graph theory, two-player games of strategy, solitaire... Historically, many of the most important mathematical concepts arose from problems that were recreational in origin. This book takes advantage of that...
