Welcome to Ian Stewart's strange and magical world of mathematics! Math Hysteria contains twenty quirky tales of mathematical exploration by one of the world's most popular writers on mathematics. Ian Stewart presents us with a wealth of magical puzzles, each one spun around an amazing tale, including "Counting the Cattle of the Sun," "The Great Drain Robbery," and "Preposterous Piratical Predicaments." Fully illustrated with explanatory diagrams, each tale is told with engaging wit, sure to amuse everyone with an interest in puzzles and mathematics. Along the way, we also meet many curious characters. Containing twenty specially-commissioned cartoons, this book will delight all who are familiar with Stewart's many other books, such as What Shape is a Snowflake? and Flatterland and anyone interested in mathematical problems. In short, these stories are engaging, challenging, and lots of fun!
Need something to while away the time standing in line, on a long car ride, dinner conversation? This book makes math concepts fun, and really math is fun - if you approach it like a game. We've had a tremendous amount of fun with this book, and now my child's friends ask to play the math games when they come over. Want to spark your child's interest in math and get them thinking about numbers in a whole new light? Mr. Stewart's book is totally the ticket.
