Leonardo's Mirror & Other Puzzles

Rate this book
The picture in the puzzle looks like a simple flower, with four red petals, inside a square. But to solve the mathematical problem—finding the total area of those petals—you’ll have to think outside the box and do some fast figuring. Some of these great puzzles have ancient roots, others come from Leonardo da Vinci’s work; and every one’s a classic. Not only will these conundrums provoke hours of thought, but the images look great, too, with pictures that range from cartoon rabbits to time-lapse photography of the sky.

Ivan Moscovich è uno dei maggiori ideatori di giochi matematici della seconda metà del ventesimo secolo. Le sue creazioni sono sempre molto colorate e spesso con una componente manuale. Questo libro, che ho preso usato (e un po' rovinato...) non presenta grandi novità nel materiale, ma nonostante questo è comunque molto piacevole alla vista, e può essere utile per avvicinare alle curiosità matematiche un ragazzo.
