Mathematical Puzzling. A. Gardiner The exercises in Gardiner's book, however, are rich in useful mathematical ideas, and each question builds o. I'm a math teacher and tutor, and I find most math puzzles and recreations to be a little academic at best, and needlessly obscure at worst. The exercises in Gardiner's book, however, are rich in useful mathematical ideas, and each question builds on previous ones in the chapter. After playing with these puzzles, the student (and teacher!) will be able to apply what they've learned to other math questions. Everything from number theory to geometry is touched upon in these challenging, thought-provoking excursions for the mind.

Gardner wrote dozens of books on puzzles and recreational maths – here are eight puzzles taken from them. I’ll post the answers in a few day. ut by then you will have solved them all, right?

The Moscow Puzzles: 359 Mathematical Recreations (Dover Recreational Math) by Boris A. Kordemsky Paperback . Martin Gardner was a renowned author who published over 70 books on subjects from science and math to poetry and religion.

Martin Gardner was a renowned author who published over 70 books on subjects from science and math to poetry and religion. He also had a lifelong passion for magic tricks and puzzles. Well known for his mathematical games column in Scientific American and his "Trick of the Month" in Physics Teacher magazine, Gardner attracted a loyal following with his intelligence, wit, and imagination.

Gardiner, Mathematical Puzzling. When we learn, or teach, school mathematics we usually concentrate on one or two ideas at a time and try to master them in some paradigmatic form: that is, in the context of a standard problem framework which seems to capture the essential features of the relevant idea or technique. This is all perfectly reasonable. But a balanced mathematical education must seek to do rather more. This collection may be seen as one attempt to serve some important, but commonly neglected, ends.

When I see a book called Mathematical Puzzling by someone named Gardiner, I am likely to assume that .

When I see a book called Mathematical Puzzling by someone named Gardiner, I am likely to assume that the i is a typo and it is another collection by Martin Gardner, master of all recreational mathematics. Gardiner, however, wrote a different kind of puzzle book that is not about the puzzles themselves so much as using puzzles as a mechanism for mathematical learning. Each of the short 27 chapters includes a collection of related puzzles of varying difficulty, often with open-ended investigation sections inviting the reader to explore or generalize the ideas.

Martin Gardner was an American mathematics and science writer specializing in recreational mathematics, but with interests encompassing micromagic, stage magic, literature (especially the writings of Lewis Carroll), philosophy, scientific skepticism, and religion. He wrote the Mathematical Games column in Scientific American from 1956 to 1981, and published over 70 books. Books by Martin Gardner.
