About this product

Product Information

In this small (but perfectly formed) hardback book, Ian Stewart introduces some of the most devilishly difficult mathematical brainteasers human beings have ever devised. Along the way, he transports us to the world of Klephtnose, the geometrical Pharaoh; Stacey Ermine, the winner of the Turnip Prize; the members of Wackingham Cricket Club; Ishtaq the Ingenious; and the eponymous Mayor of Uglyville. Each of them urgently needs our help with a little local mathematical difficulty. But fear not if their problems defeat you. The answers are at the back of the book.
